The general election starts today. There are 286 days until Election Day (and many states start voting 30 or even 45 days before -- you go, Virginia!)

We need to help our friends and family understand this binary choice and the consequences of staying home or voting third party. You are who they look to for advice -- post on social media and pass on positive news (you don’t need to debunk every conspiracy theory or get into debates but getting good stuff out there helps).
