So an article came up on SXN80 that said that Killer Mike encouraged black voters to stay the f--- home.

And well... I'm just curious on the state of politics. Voting for any other option means that they're playing into the hands of the two candidates who want to eliminate any other voters who might increase their numbers.

Trump is well known for voter suppression; It's clear he doesn't want Hillary to win but I feel bad for all those voters who think that the Green Party is going to be the third party or that their vote for an independent will matter.

So, does it all matter or is voter suppression just a statistic. Discuss.

Voter suppression is a strategy to influence the outcome of an election by discouraging or preventing people from exercising the right to vote. It is distinguished from political campaigning in that campaigning attempts to change likely voting behavior by changing the opinions of potential voters through persuasion and organization. Voter suppression, instead, attempts to reduce the number of voters who might vote against a candidate or proposition advocated by the suppressors.

The tactics of voter suppression can range from minor dirty tricks that make voting inconvenient, to illegal activities that physically intimidate prospective voters to prevent them from casting ballots. Voter suppression could be effective if a significant amount of voters are intimidated or disenfranchised.

I've literally seen the Green Party campaign in Downtown Riverside, all of those people had good ideas such as education reform and a decent economy. They even tried to get Bernie Sanders to be their main candidate...

I feel bad for them now.

I just made that topic because it saddens me that there are 2 morally bad candidates and Killer Mike is telling everybody not to vote and I have to think about why there are only 2 candidates I can vote for.

I can't even vote for the 3rd one (Jill Stein) because the promise of whether the Green Party will get funding or not is up in the air. If they did get it then good for them but I think it's unlikely.
