America is just shouting out of every place: "Down with democracy, down with the constitutional rule of law! Hail to a fascist state!" And still the biggest discussion is about some fumbling and age.

An authoritarian dictatorship is so clearly in your furure if you guys don't wake up and spend your energy fighting against THIS instead of one another.

The rest of the world is really relying on you not to fuck this up.

Please?

If just everybody would get up and vote!

I just saw a post about Trump gaining and now leading in every swingstate.

Its the same with the shift to the right in Europe. There are just too many people uninterested in politics or not voting because they don't like any of the candidates. These are the people who have to wake up and understand that democracy is at stake and that they are responsible for it, if they don't vote! The extremists will ALL be out there voting so we can't really allow ourselves to be indifferent.

Lets all just follow France as an example.

Some of us are doing shit, while some of our peers are still huffing farts about the DNC in 2016
