Day 1,383: On election eve, Trump pushes violence while Biden pushes voting
It’s here.
After four years of total dysfunction, disastrous foreign and domestic policies, nepotism, golf, and generally treating the office of the president as a means to line his own pockets, Donald Trump is finally up for reelection on Tuesday. As enthusiastic Democrats around the country try to oust Trump and take back the Senate, frenzied Republicans are trying to hold on for dear life.
Incredibly, nearly 100 million people have already voted and the candidates are giving their final message.
In one corner, there’s desperate Trump, willing to do anything to win. His final message on Monday was one of violence, as he has so often resorted to, especially in recent days, in a tweet that even Twitter added a disclaimer to and restricted from being widely shared on the platform.
Upset that the Supreme Court refused to stop Pennsylvania from counting lawfully sent mail-in ballots, Trump all-but implored his followers to riot “in the streets,” before adding, “Something must be done!”
Meanwhile, Joe Biden’s Monday closing message was far more simple and peaceful: vote.
Trump and the GOP have filed many lawsuits across the country and are preparing to file plenty more on Election Day, trying to disenfranchise millions of voters even after they have cast their ballots.
After four years, there couldn’t be a starker contrast between candidates and parties. While one pushes violence, autocracy and minority rule, the other pushes one of inclusion, democracy and letting all voices be heard.
