People on this site of so melodramatic like “we are all going to die!! Trump is going to make concentrations camps! If you’re not straight and white you won’t have any rights!!” I don’t like Trump but holy shit the people who actually think this are so fucking stupid. Like fuck man, they for real???

Green Day posted this picture on their Facebook page:

Which, given their history of political opinions, makes sense.

But the comments are fucking wild, man.  Like, did these commentators even listen to any of Green Day’s work?

Buddy, you used Green Day as an escape from politics?  I don’t think you understand how that works.

Yes, yes, Green Day should stay out of politics.  They’ve really been known for the quietness on political events (*sarcasm*).

What are Green Day’s music or public statements makes you think they are willing to sit by and let an authoritarian demagogue rise without protesting that?  He hasn’t said “mean things,” he’s a fucking dictator-in-waiting.

But at least some commentators got it:

Like American Idiot wasn’t obvious enough

Ironically, you are using American Idiot to support them saying this but in the song they talk about how the nation is controlled by the media which, believe it or not, is vastly liberal in America. It also basically says that you shouldn’t be a blind follower but they want people to not vote Trump just cuz they say so.
And I think a lot of people are severely disappointed and upset by the two candidates they have to choose for president and just want to not even think about it. And there isn’t anything wrong with that. Lastly, Green Day is not composed of politicians, they arnt paid to give their political opinions. They are free to have their opinions, but they shouldn’t mix it with their work

It’s honestly so disgusting that in a country like the US we have to deal with, and worry about voter fraud. It’s no longer a country by the people and for the people.

A friend is telling me Trump may be winning but like

fuck

November the eigth ain’t even here yet

It’s about the polls and here’s the issue

Trump has supporters who will vote for him no matter what he does. Trump himself has said he could shoot someone in the middle of a crowded street and still have supporters.

So those supporters LOVE Trump and will show up no matter what happens. Then you have others who don’t like either candidate, but we’re thinking they couldn’t support Trump a week ago because of the sexual assault scandals.

As time passed those people began to care less about the scandal. Every time Trump manages to go a week without a new scandal everyone forgets about the last one and the old supporters will always be there either way.

Hillary doesn’t have hard core supporters who love her and are super excited. Hillary’s supporters are more ‘she’s the best we’ve got’. Also, liberal/progressive voters tend to be more idealistic so they don’t like voting ‘no matter what?’

So a conservative might say ‘I’m not a racist myself, and I don’t like the KKK, but the fact the KKK endorses Trump won’t stop me from voting for him’.

A progressive might say ‘Hillary Clinton has said and done problematic things, so even though voting for her is essential to protect the rights of oppressed groups I’d feel better if I didn’t vote for a problematic person so I’m staying home.’

Trump knows this. That’s why his campaign strategy has been to make Hillary look bad to people won’t vote for him. Targeting black voters with Facebook content about things from the 90s (Trump’s policies and Supreme Court would do harm now and Hillary would be better, but the focus is on her not being good enough).

Then unlike Trump, scandals don’t happen and then go away after a week. Hillary’s emails have been an issue since 2015 and no one wants to move on. They just keep hammering it, and any new development reaffirms the line that something really bad must have happened.

So Hillary goes from being 5 points ahead to one point behind. This isn’t because Trump got more popular, he has the same white voters he’s always had but Clinton has lost support among the ‘lesser of two evils crowd’.

The Republicans who didn’t really want to support Trump are more willing to show up and vote to stop Hillary Clinton. The progressives are more likely to stay home or vote 3rd party because they don’t want to support “the system” or someone they feel isn’t perfect.

Basically Trump is winning in the polls, and it’s not because more people are voting for him. It’s because more people won’t for Hillary Clinton to stop Trump.

The choices are ‘Good’ vs ‘Terrible’ And people are saying, I’m not voting unless we get to pick something great. Except the the election isn’t ‘no one wins, let’s change the system and have a do-over’ if people don’t show up to vote, the person with the most votes win and you can bet the racists are showing up.

The reason to talk about this now, rather than next week, is so that maybe we can change things before it’s too late by encouraging people to vote.

For fuck’s sake do not stay home and do not vote third party.

Half of the shit in this post isn’t true, and fucking don’t tell people how to vote. I get that you want your candidate to win, but people are free to do whatever they want with their vote.
People don’t wanna vote for a shit candidate, and why the fuck should people vote for someone they don’t want as president? It’s ridiculous that people are willing to straight up lie to get people to vote their way.
Don’t lie to people and don’t tell people how to vote shit dicks

Fuck anyone who says I have to forgive everyone, “for my sake.” I worked hard for this anger. I worked hard to love myself enough to hate them.

on that note stop adding to this post with ‘i think you’re confusing forgiving with forgetting’ No I’m Fucking Not

I’m not gonna forgive someone who isn’t sorry or hasn’t had to to face any consequences for what they have done. Not gonna happen.

Can we have a word? I continue to hear from many of you who say you won’t vote for Hillary Clinton because, you claim, (1) she’s no better than Donald Trump, or (2) even if she’s better, she’s still corrupt, and you refuse to vote for the “lesser of two evils,” or (3) you don’t want to reward the Democratic Party for corrupt primaries that gave the nomination to Hillary instead of Bernie Sanders.

Please allow me to respond.

(1) Anyone who equates Donald Trump with Hillary Clinton hasn’t been paying attention. Trump is a dangerous, bigoted, narcissistic megalomaniac with fascist tendencies who could wreak huge damage on America and the world. Hillary isn’t perfect but she’s able and experienced. There is simply no comparison.

(2) Even if you see Hillary Clinton as the “lesser of two evils,” the greater of two evils in this case (if you see the choice in these terms) is seriously evil. You’ve probably had occasion in the past to vote for someone who doesn’t meet your ideals, when the alternative is someone who falls much further from those ideals. This doesn’t mean you’ve sold out or compromised your principles. You’ve just been realistic and practical. Realism and practicality are critically important now.

(3) I understand your frustration with the Democratic Party, and your reluctance to “reward” it for its bias against Bernie in the primaries. But anything you do that increases the odds of a Trump presidency isn’t just penalizing the Democratic Party; it’s jeopardizing our future and that of our children and their children. All of us must continue to work hard for a political system responsive to the needs of ordinary Americans. The movement Bernie energized must not and will not end. But Donald Trump, were he to become president, would set back the cause for decades.

There are just over 7 weeks until Election Day. My request to those of you who still don’t want to vote for Hillary Clinton: Please reconsider. It is no exaggeration to say the fate of the nation and the world are at stake.

Thanks for trying to overturn and invalidate other peoples’ sense of morals in an attempt to get them to vote for someone they don’t want to be their president and who they believe to be morally repugnant in order to fulfill your political motives while completely disregarding the opinions of the people, it’s been real ✌🏻️
