I know everything feels hopeless right now, but USamericans, Ive seen some weird thoughts on voting. I know you are forced to pick between two bad options. But for everyone on this EARTH you HAVE to vote. The USA election affects every other nation on Earth, and it is so frustrating and upsetting seeing USamericans opting not to vote when I, across the ocean, wish I could DO SOMETHING. Me begging you to vote is the only thing I can do. Voting is something YOU CAN DO to make a difference.
Voting is one of the few times you can actually use your power in a democracy (protesting and right to protest is another good one). And it DOES count. Every single vote counts. There's even an entire Wikipedia page about close elections.
I know you have two bad options. But it isn't a win to withhold voting entirely because of Biden, you need to vote so that Trump gets less votes. Withholding your vote won't hurt the Democrats, it'll help the Republican party.
