   Then let me explain: the US is not just some random country, it's the most powerful country in the world. And at the moment, it's still a democracy. A flawed one, but still an ally to democracies all over the world. Donald Trump admires dictators. He admired Putin, Xi and Kim Yong Un. He despises democracies. He despised the free press. He wants to let Putin conquer Ukraine. He wants Israel to wipe out the Palestinians.

   His election will have a terrible effect on the world. If the US falls to his fascism, that will leave only the EU as a stronghold of democracy, surrounded on all sides by fascists and dictators. And even the EU is faltering.

   It is absolutely vital that everybody who opposes fascism, fights it. That is why I'm here; this is not a hobby, this is a necessity. To convince more people to fight against the threat of fascism.

   Your ideological purity is not going to save the world. Stopping Trump will.

     @ashleygjovik @mcv He's right though, a vote for Stein is a vote for Trump, but have it your way, just remember that once fcists take power they're difficult to remove.
