if every progressive who voted 3rd party or stayed home in 2016 would have voted for hillary clinton, we wouldn't have two (soon to be three) new ultra-conservative LIFELONG APPOINTMENTS on the supreme court who won't hesitate to take away gay rights, a woman's right to choose, and affordable healthcare. if you still want to cast your "protest vote" by writing in or staying home, because (you're privileged) none of those things affect you, try to think about the people who ARE affected. maybe this is the first time you've ever heard this but IT'S NOT ABOUT YOU.
find Black or LGBTQ activists to follow on social media & watch how hard they are fighting to elect joe biden. do you think he was their first choice? definitely not, but they understand what the stakes are. you need to understand that too. i'm sorry if this is the first time in your life that you didn't get exactly what you wanted, but which side of history do you want to be on?
