Well now you have Trump who will commit additional genocides within our domestic borders on top of all the complete eradication he will directly fund outside of our borders. you definitely showed them libs!
Question: do you do anything besides voting? Did you phonebank? Canvas? Do you work in your community: volunteer at a soup kitchen, community garden, etc?
You're looking for someone to blame, but arguing on the internet isn't going to solve anything. We have four years to organize, protect, and uplift each other. There are people that need our help.
24 hours later and ignored this. I guess they think stopping fascism is the ballot box. Probably ignores jury duty even.
That's the problem with electoralism. Too many people just figure they can turn in a piece of paper every 2-4 years and that will save us from fascism.
I believe in voting as harm reduction, but nobody is coming to save us.
Because we live in the real world where we recognize that Trump or Harris were going to be the next president, and Harris' ambiguity on Gaza and susceptibility to pressure from Democrat voters is, while not ideal, still better than Trump's open lust for Muslim blood and complete indifference to what pro-palestinian voters want.
Because I am not so blinded by my own self-centered, egotistical view of moral purity as to throw away my vote on retaining civilian rights.
Name one candidate that was for it.
