If Trump wins, Harris supporters must accept his victory peacefully and without rancor. And if Harris wins, Harris supporters must be understanding about Trump supporters’ violence and rioting.

I have a confession and a plea to folks who are flirting with voting Jill Stein.

When I was a 20 year old college student in 2000, I voted for Ralph Nader instead of Al Gore. I loved the progressive message Nader offered, and Bush and Gore seemed kinda the same to someone who was paying peripheral attention.

I've regretted that vote for my entire adult life.

Ultimately, George Bush won by a margin of 500+ votes in the state of Florida over Gore. And that was the ballgame. Ralph Nader peeled 97,000+ votes away from Gore. If only 600 of those 90,000 had voted for the major party candidate that more aligned with their values, things would have been very different.

When I was in my senior year of college, 9/11 happened. The country and western world rallied around Bush's resolute response to the traumatizing terror attacks. I was in NY at the time, and it was a terrifying moment for the nation.

But the consequences of Bush being in office at that moment were immense.

Bush's disdain for his dad's nemesis, Iraqi President Saddam Hussein, led him to invent a rationale to invade a country that literally had nothing to do with 9/11. End result? He killed hundreds of thousands of Iraqi people, thousands of American troops, and spent over a trillion dollars of taxpayer money in the process.

Beyond the completely immoral and indefensible Iraq War, Bush was a complete disaster as a president. His "No Child Left Behind" effort turned public schools into standardized testing centers. He tripled down on fossil fuels and ignored climate change. His tax cuts for the rich helped contribute to the 2008 economic downturn that led to the Great Recession.

He was a terrible president.

In an alternate reality, Al Gore would have been president in 2001 when terrorists attacked America. Would he have gone into Iraq? Absolutely not. Would he have ignored global warming? 100% no! Gore was perhaps the preeminent proponent of fighting climate change at that time. Would he have passed massive tax cuts for the wealthy? No way.

This is a sliding doors scenario. What would have happened? We can't be sure. But one thing is for sure: those votes for Ralph Nader (in Florida in particular) were EXCEPTIONALLY consequential for the lives of millions around the world. Gore would have offered a more forward-facing, environmentally conscious & peaceful presidency that wasn't so rooted in grievance and privilege.

My point is:

Either Kamala Harris or Donald Trump will win the election. That is a fact. You might feel the need to submit a "protest vote" as I did in 2000.

Just be ready to wear it when Donald Trump wins, strips away reproductive rights from all Americans, implements an economy-destroying tariff, dismantles the entire federal government, eliminates the Department of Education, prosecutes his perceived enemies, and devolves America into chaos.

There are no perfect choices. But rest assured, there are only two.

Trust me - I've been wearing my vote for a quarter century.

BREAKING: Kamala Harris’ campaign is circulating this devastating montage of all the times Donald Trump threatened to gut Social Security and Medicare. Retweet to make sure every voter sees this

A healthy 28-year-old mom is dead. Not because doctors couldn't help her; because they refused until it was too late. Because they feared HELPING HER would land them in prison.

A young mom is dead.

A 6-year-old boy lost his mom.

"Everybody wanted this," Donald Trump told us.

The thread will be in English. I will be asking for retweets of this thread. So, a week ago, I went to the Desna River in the Chernihiv region to see what's happening there and how the pollution of Ukrainian rivers Seym and Desna looks. In short – it’s terrifying.

@flySEA If this is normal I would hate to see what you consider bad. S gates are complete garbage. Looks like bathrooms were last cleaned a week ago. Trash bins all over the place. Feels like the AC is barely on and with all the delays the place is getting pretty crowded.

@Izengabe_ @AoDespair Since you brought up energy and drilling policies under the Biden administration and think it’s a negative shows you are either a troll or too stupid to do 30seconds of research

During the day, I am a candidate for Congress.

At night, I wait tables. I know what working class Wisconsinites need and I am tired of us lacking true representation in D.C. That’s why I’m running.

Can you retweet this, give me a follow, and help me defeat Derrick Van Orden?
