We've been warned that this would happen for years. And now it's here in front of our eyeballs. And what did we do? We posted on Chambers and Twitter, but we didn't show up to vote.<br><br>Trump openly suggested that he wouldn't accept the outcome of the election and that his followers should intimidate voters at the polls. Biden called him out on it. In response, Trump doubled down on his position and directed his followers to go "watch" the polls. He sees the writing on the wall and he's about to do everything in his power to try and steal this election.<br><br>We've let this happen Reddit. This is what happens when we let the axiom "if you don't vote, you can't complain" be our attitude. This is what happens when we allow people to conflate "politics as usual" with the erosion of democratic norms and the unprecedented rise of fascism in the United States.<br><br>We have 30 days until the election. If you're angry at the state of U.S. politics, now's the time to do something about it. Stop posting on Reddit. Go out there and drag 5 people you know to the polls, even if you have to hold their hand through early voting. Chambers, did you enjoy watching the debate last night? This is your reward for your inaction.<br><br>Edit: 1k upvotes and not a single comment. Congratulations, you’ve proven your point. Now go out and do something.<br><br>Edit2: WOW. Thank you kind strangers. I have ants in my pants now and I’m off to take action.<br><br>Edit3: I don't know what bearded_croissant did to make people hate her, but I think we all need to take a deep breath and focus on the bigger picture. Don't hate each other, hate the inaction that's going to lead to the destruction of our country.
