You Should Vote and Here's Why

The thing is, people aren't perfect. Politicians especially so. There's never going to be a perfect candidate that solves all of our problems and has no faults whatsoever. And waiting for that candidate forever only gives more votes to the worst people, in this case, that's Trump, a notorious extremist who blatantly lies on television, is racist, is transphobic, and is a convicted felon. His voters will show up to the polls no matter what, because they worship him like a god. So where does that leave us?

Listen, I get being disillusioned, I really do. There's nobody out there who's gonna swoop in and save us from the mess that we've all found ourselves in, and I'm not pretending that Harris is some kind of superhero. But at the very least, she isn't in support of project 2025. She isn't accusing immigrants of eating babies. She isn't a convicted sex offender. And frankly, right now, she's the best option we have.

Now, I'm not saying that's automatically a reason to vote for her, but here's the thing. If Trump gets elected again, things are only going to get worse. Last term, he fired everybody who was supposed to keep a leash on him and packed the court with conservatives. We all saw how that ended up. This time, he's got an army of corrupt floozies at his back, and Project 2025 as his battle plan. I'm not saying the country will turn into a dystopia on day one, but it's hardly gonna be good, either. Not for you or me or anyone else.

Harris isn't exactly a paragon, but at least if she gets elected, things might stop getting worse. Hell, if she's telling the truth about her stances on things, they might even get a little better. And maybe, one day in the future, we'll have politicians worth voting for. But before we get there, we have to get out of this mess.

So we have two options: stand there and watch, or pick up a shovel and start digging ourselves out of this hole full of shit. It'll be slow, and painful, but sometimes better than nothing is really all you've got. Now, I can't make you dig with me, but I can try and give you a shovel.

Maybe someday, better than nothing will turn into better. But if we all just stand here, it's only gonna keep getting worse.
