I'm pretty sure the most important election of our lives was 2016, and we failed.

I'm pretty sure that's what's make this election more important than it should be.

Back then nobody thought Trump was going to win, so there was no plan.

Now there is a detailed plan to destroy the democratic state as we know it.

This one is more important, and every election following it is equally important.

If Trump wins, there won't be any elections following this. None that aren't sham elections, anyway

I'd say it was 2000 when Gore's election win was stolen from him.

If you prefer nebula. Thought it was a good rundown of why, from a legal viewpoint, voting for trump is a bad choice (to put it lightly). Even if it has a strong title
