I'm getting fucking sick of this orange fuck lying and causing the United States to fall behind. END THE TARIFFS. If you don't vote you're a part of the problem.

My message is simple: VOTE.

Vote AND do other stuff.

Sure, I already did "other stuff" by making this post, thanks for commenting and continuing the discussion. I also posted in the Illinois subreddit the first day that people could register to vote by mail.

I think the message is for the people that can't even bring themselves to vote. Clearly if they aren't voting, they aren't going to do anything involving more effort. So the goal for them is to just get them to fill in some boxes and sign their name.

If this election is truly rigged and we descend further into fascism, then maybe we can work on getting them to go a little further.
