Frank Ocean Urges Fans to Vote: 'Watching [Trump] Dragged Out Will Be Way More Entertaining Than These Debates'
Like many of you, Frank Ocean wasn't impressed by Tuesday night's presidential debate.
Toward the end of the event, the singer-songwriter took to Instagram to share a few thoughts on Donald Trump and Joe Biden's much-anticipated face-off. Frank posted an Instagram story that suggested he was bored with the unusual situation, but stressed the importance of getting Trump out of the White House.
"It all feels fake. The problem's that it's not," he wrote. "Donald is president and might not leave the White House even if he loses the race, so some say. Pls vote. Watching him dragged out will be way more entertaining than these debates."
Frank included a link to the official Blonded page, which was recently updated with voting resources. There's a voter registration form, a link to check registration status, a early voting calendar, as well as link to request a mail-in ballot.
Chance the Rapper also weighed in on the first 2020 presidential debate; he accused the president of virtue signaling and using racist dog whistles, and then urged his followers to vote the "openly racist white supremacist" out of the White House.
The entire country has to make a decision as to whether it will continue to downplay the fact that our President is an openly racist White Supremacist and what that means for its citizens, or... VOTE HIM OUT.

Tbh I ain’t even watching it.
I know what it is. Two completely incompetent, unqualified males debating which one has a bigger ego. Politics aren’t going to save this nation. Look into local grassroots orgs and mutual aid programs and GET TO WORK if u wanna see change.— Lauren Jauregui (@LaurenJauregui) September 30, 2020

Trump is playing with lives of 10's of thousands of people and people who have been at his rally's have died from Covid. This is a man who only cares about his own ego, not the well being of his followers or other Americans. #Debates2020

This is what happens when you elect a sociopathic reality show host to run not only the country but to dictate how we communicate with each other about deadly serious issues.

This is beyond depressing.
We’re in the middle of a global pandemic, our lives are at risk, and we can’t get a serious response about how its being handled.#Debates2020— Jackée Harry (@JackeeHarry) September 30, 2020
