claim 1: “voting doesn’t change anything”

Never forget the recent case of Kris Mayes, who refuses to uphold the Arizona supreme court’s sweeping ban of abortion.

Kris Mayes only won her 2022 election by 280 votes. Voting changes things.

claim 2: “but genocide joe”

Yep. Hold that fucker’s feet to the fire. He has blood on his hands

But trump has promised to be indisputably worse.

I won’t tell you how to vote. I just encourage you to vote. You’re not radical for ditching the only miniscule right the state has granted you to do some small aid for your neighbors.

      That’s good as long as it’s acknowledged what the only viable method of voting against Trump is.

      fuck joe biden. but at the same time, fuck dolan more. I’d rather have 4 more years of relative calm with a shithead that nobody likes than to be subjected to another 4 years (at a minimum) of the crazy shit which is a trump presidency.

        Okay, but holding your nose and voting without a meaningful push to do away with First Past The Post voting after the election is like wrapping a severed limb with a tourniquet and then cleaning your hands and calling it a day.

        Yes the patient didn’t die, but rot is setting in the mortal wound as we speak.

        So, let’s start the process now so we are free to vote for who best represents us in the future.
