Again, this goes back to DeJoy. It goes back to ICE administration. It goes to Biden’s intervention to kneecap labor during the COVID era strike wave. It goes to Merrick Garland sitting on his hands for four fucking years while Republicans continued to commit crime after crime.
Biden didn’t make progressive changes. He squandered his time in office, refused to impede Project 2025, and sent hundreds of billions of dollars into the pockets of Republican mega-donors that ultimately wrecked his VP’s chances at an electoral win.
For what? So he could keep funding a genocide in Gaza?

Trump is also completely ignoring the law, to the point of trying to suspend habeus corpus.
Every president since Gitmo opened has been operating under suspended habeus corpus.
It’s feels off to me when not voting for someone who doesn’t share your politics is described as “protest” or “punishment”. Wouldn’t you expect a person not to vote for a candidate who doesn’t share their politics or represent their interests?
