I've been seeing a lot of anti-voting sentiment going around. Can't believe I have to say this, but you need to vote. Not only is there more to the election than just the president. (State policy, Senate, house), but not voting is not an act of protest. C'mon guys

I don’t want an American president that jokes about being a dictator for one day.

Decent candidates for the presidency and leader of the free world don’t joke about wanting to be a dictator.

Besides, when Trump tells you he wants to be a dictator he is not joking.

Trump covets the power Putin and Xi has.

So you would pick a incompetetent president over one that makes jokes you dont like?

As I said, trump isn’t joking about wanting to be a dictator.

So yeah, I’m going to support whoever isn’t a literal fascist.

What was not peaceful that trump did?

He encouraged his supporters to challenge a legitimate defeat.

He did like the other candidates before him and tried to get the election overturned by legal means.
