US election day is upon us and Grimes is urging fans to vote for Hillary Clinton in a new video shared on Twitter. The Canadian synth-pop singer and producer dropped a minute-long clip on Monday in support of Clinton, taking cues from Lyndon Johnson's famous 1964 political ad campaign.The original featured a young girl picking petals off a flower, counting down to a nuclear explosion, with Johnson's voice overlaid in the background telling voters, "We must either love each other, or we must die."Grimes' recreation sees her picking petals and counting down to a similar apocalyptic bang, ending with a message tailored to the current presidential election: "Vote for Secretary Clinton on November 8th. The stakes are too high for you to stay home."Watch both below and check out the artist's recent Art Angels videos.
