If you think America is great again, what with over 50 million unemployed, 4 million infected and over 150, 000 dead, you vote to keep it that way. If not, vote for change.

Ding ding ding! Eugene hit the nail right on the head!

[richardowens]

When votes no longer matter, pitchforks, torches, tar, feathers, and guillotines will. Louis XVI learned this lesson the hard way, as his head was rolling around in a bucket.

[fmarconi]

As long as trump is around everything will be a mess.

[ShyLuna]

America has to come out in bigger numbers than ever before! If you can vote, VOTE! There can’t be any reason for Trump to question this election!
