    I voted for Jill Stein in 2016 because I assumed Hillary was going to win anyway, and I was in a solidly red state so fuck it, might as well vote 3rd party.

    Then Trump won.
    Then I learned about Stein’s backwards views on nuclear energy, GMOs and vaccines.
    Then she turned out to be a Russian asset.
    Then she decided to run again and again, knowing that she’s only acting as a spoiler for the Dems.

    Boy did I make a mistake in 2016. I wish there was a perfect candidate for everyone to vote for, but unfortunately keeping Trump out of the white house is the best we can do. Harris isn’t my first choice, but I voted for her on behalf of all of the people who will suffer under another Trump presidency.
