Please consider forwarding this to anyone who just "probably" will vote for Biden.

Let's be realistic about your decision: you will either vote for Joe Biden or you will vote for Donald Trump

Obviously, if you cast your ballot and select Joe, you will have voted for Biden.

But, if you cast a ballot and select Donald, you'll have voted for Trump---AND, if you cast a ballot and select ANYONE but Joe---say, that Kanye fellow---you will have voted for Trump---AND, if you stay home on election day, you will have voted for Trump.

EVERY vote in this election is not just important, it is crucial. We must win this election so overwhelmingly that it will be impossible to steal it. It is your DUTY as an American citizen to vote for the AMERICAN candidate, Joe Biden. You know Donald Trump is not just a bad POTUS, he's a bad person.

Do not say you "may" vote. Do not say that you will "probably' vote. Say that, by God, come hell or high water you damn sure WILL vote---for Joe Biden and every other Democrat on your ballot. We MUST flush Trump and his enablers out of our government.

And, we need more than your good wishes; more than your agreement with us; more than your justified criticism of Trump.

WE NEED YOUR VOTE!

That was a welcome contrast to the badgering and demanding done by some, including certain people at DU.

A clear explanation like that will appeal to a lot more people than any order to shut up, fall in line and comply.

"Argue with me. Yell at me. Threaten and beg. And I'll just gaze at you with my blank stare and repeat, 'but my conscience' until your head explodes. And then I'll rub one out. I don't actually have a conscience; I have needs."

To put them in perspective, I think of being on an airplane. The flight attendant comes down the aisle with her food cart and, eventually, parks it beside my seat. “Can I interest you in the chicken?” she asks. “Or would you prefer the platter of shit with bits of broken glass in it?”

To be undecided in this election is to pause for a moment and then ask how the chicken is cooked.
