Biden vs Trump: 2020 Presidential Election INFORMATION

Here is an INCOMPLETE, BASIC guide and compilation of resources and notes that I (@fairiesandstarlight) created and researched, about the plans and viewpoints of each presidential candidate to help you decide who to vote for. PLEASE REPOST/REBLOG TO HELP OTHERS DURING THE DAYS LEADING UP TO THE ELECTION. We must be educated on the candidates in order to most effectively vote. My goal is to spread awareness about the election and our candidates. I tried not to be overly biased as well. Please read through this, AS WELL AS watch the news videos, because they go much more in-depth about each topic. It is very important to do so. Note: I didn’t watch every single video, but I did watch many of them. If you see anything that you think does not accurately represent the election as a whole, please let me know! I will make changes. If there is any topic you’d like me to add, let me know as well. Best of luck!
