i mean. it’s not hard to see. why do you think trump has been practically begging millennials to vote for bernie sanders? he’s tweeted it about fifty times. he brings it up at the debate. you think that’s cause he’s looking out for you?

even bernie sanders is saying please, no, don’t write me in, this is not the time for a protest vote. you gonna listen to trump instead of bernie? you gonna support bernie by ignoring everything he says?

nah, it’s because trump knows it’s his path to victory. don’t fall for it. don’t write-in. don’t vote third-party. vote for hillary clinton

so tomorrow is USA’s big day

Go vote. Don’t even think about not going. Don’t throw away your only chance to influence where your country is going. Don’t let those around you be indifferent either. Elections matter. Whoever tells you your vote is meaningless is lying.

Low political participation hurts legitimacy and impedes social reform. Minorities (POC, LGBT+, religious minorities) and young people are particularly hurt by voter apathy, since low turnout favors the sectors with persistent diehard voters. Traditionally the sectors that benefit are conservatives, particularly far-right voters, and older generations.

Vote smart. Vote for a candidate that’s willing to govern for every citizen and not a select few. Vote for a candidate with a clear, solid governance plan. Vote for a qualified candidate.

Be responsible. Don’t vote third party. The choice is between 2 candidates, Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump. One of them will be president after tomorrow. Any vote for another candidate will only favor Trump, so you might as well be voting for him directly. A vote is a strategic choice and a responsibility granted to adult citizens: don’t waste it on a protest that will fall on deaf ears. A political candidate isn’t flawless or an ideal representation of everything you believe in: the only choice voters have is whose plan out of those available is the closest to your personal belief system.

Finally, please don’t vote for a racist, homophobic, misogynistic, destructive, reprehensible waste of humanity who might not only set your country back decades in social reform and ruin your fellow citizen’s lives, but might in fact tip the global balance straight into a large scale war. The rest of the world will thank you.

You live in a bipartisan system, my friend. Your vote will be wasted if you vote for a supposedly “deserving” outlier who has no political support, no sustainable government plan and no chance, in a system designed to elect a candidate from one of 2 major parties that lead the country together. No outsider could govern, because that is how your political system is constructed

The only thing you’ll gain is a false sense of moral righteousness that will split the non-Trump vote uselessly. Your so called protest vote tells those minorities whose lives are actively being threatened by one of the candidates who WILL be winning this election, that your elevated principles and a hollow short-lived satisfaction mattered more to you than their livehood and their rights. Your vote isn’t for you. It’s for your entire country. You’re voting on who will be leading your country after tomorrow: Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton. That’s all the choice available.
