nillia:

Sorry Jamie. Today you play the 3rd-party-voter/non-voter demographic. 

“I don’t want to vote (for Hillary) in this flawed system.” Several friends (who feel relatively safe in any outcome) have told me this.

Well, I don’t want LGBT+, POC, Muslim, neurodivergent, and disabled people to be run over by a Trump Presidency because our allies were too principled to vote in our best interests. 

But that’s where principled 3rd party voters and non-voters leave us. Vulnerable. 

That’s why we say, “Yes, you can vote. It’s important.” Because it is about more than just the individual voter’s feelings towards a flawed system (that is no more flawed than the ridiculous systems behind most products, energy, food, clothes, animation, and games we buy). It is about voting for the safest available option to protect the millions in disenfranchised groups and minorities who are routinely hurt by all those other systems. 

Please register and vote, even if you don’t want to. We ALL have to live with the result.
