Voting for Kamala was what needed to be done to change the outcome.
And doing fuckall to improve your constituents material conditions for 4 years while also facilitating genocide, sending the police to kick the shit out of the politically activated kids, you know the ones who phone bank and get all their friends to vote, funding ICE, etc is exactly how you make sure people won't vote for you.
Nothing I did encouraged the dems to do these things. Instead I encouraged the democrats to do the things they needed to do to win, while every lib demanding we vote blue no matter who 2 years away from the election helped them maintain the delusion the dems could win while telling their base to eat shit.
It would have been so easy too, all the dems had to do was not include ICE or Israel funding in the federal budget, or just refuse to dispense the funds, or order the head of ICE Biden appointed to fire everyone and spend the funds on something worthwhile, and suddenly the republicans symbolize returning this great evil the democrats just ended. But they had no interest in stopping any of that shit, and now here we are.
You're given 2 and only 2 options:
Option 1 - Every day:
Option 2 - Every day:
You have to pick either one of these options, or abstain and let someone you don't like pick for you instead.
You're standing there, telling your neighbor "at least I didn't pick a child killer!"
If you're campaigning on killing a child every day, you absolutely suck at your job and need to be replaced. It is predictable that many people aren't going to vote for you.
No logic or vote-shaming or whatever is going to make killing a child every day a popular policy. You can change policy, you can't convince voters that actually killing a child every day is OK because the other party wants to kill 10 children every day.
So, you’re upset about one child being killed a day and silent on 10 children being killed a day?
Right, so you don't give a fuck about your neighbor. Stop pretending you do, and just admit you want to let bad people burn down the system and think your perfect ideology will rise from the ashes. If your neighbor gets stabbed, and babies start dying at an accelerated rate, so be it.
Just. Own. It.
