There really is no need for vote pledge posts here.

Although a handful of people have made statements about general election voting and who they will or will not vote for, I suspect that much of that is emotional and reactionary (not all, but most).

That being said, no one is stupid here. We know the score and the stakes. Ultimately we need a Democrat in the White House. Even if we don't win the Senate or the House, we need a Democrat to halt any nonsense the nut-party is going to try to do. So please knock off the posturing. Whatever happens happens, I have my hopes on one outcome for many good reasons. But I know what needs to be done at the end of the day, even if I may not like the outcome.

In solidarity,
