    No. Ideally you should win a vote by presenting a good platform and showing the candidate to be a good leader - specifically by not dividing people and talking about enemies within the country. Talk about perspectives and differences in platforms and leadership track records. Being ‘the most important’ election is a good reason to tell people to really pay attention to the options and actually get out and vote. If Americans are too stupid to understand that, they deserve the orange moron they got and the long term damage it is doing to the country.

      There are enemies within the country; every worker’s interests are diametrically opposed to those of Jeff Bezos. A leader who pretends we’re all on the same side is siding with capital. Billionaires like Bloomberg understand that, hence why he spent hundreds of millions trying to stop the candidate who wanted workers to have healthcare.

      “The election is important election ever, for real, thats why you have to vote for a rightwing ghoul instead of a candidate who can actually win” has been going on since Nixon.
