    As a non-white person who is constantly harrassed by right-wingers, and who knows that voting won’t overthrow the burgeoisie, voting blue is a means of not getting lynched on the street and to be able to get enough time until the revolution is ready.

    If the fascists start burning my people in crosses and genociding them, no amount of voting third party is going to do shit.

    That is what I believe. I don’t have the cracker privilege of voting third party.

      As a queer non-white person who is constantly harassed by right-wingers, voting blue is a way for people to check in with their community one day in November every four years.

      The fascists are already here. They have been lynching my people, your people, and anyone else they can get away with. They escape the law because the law in the US is upheld by fascists and their enablers.

      Biden didn’t close the camps at the border. He didn’t make covid safer. He didn’t pack the courts or use his executive powers to prevent the overturn of Roe v Wade.

      I don’t have the privilege of voting third party. I have the priority of taking care of the people in my life because the two major parties are engaged in political theater.

          I have read about it. It’s bad. The republican party is getting overrun by mask-off fascists. I know they’re an existential threat to me and mine.

          It’s really something the DNC should consider when making their campaign platform. They still have time to engage people and mobilize voters.

      The crackers still sell you and your rubber-stamp either way. Toeing the line is not going to save you and yours.
