That's what I just can't handle about this situation. Even as a Black woman whose name all the fascists know now, Kamala Harris is probably safe. Biden is unlikely to be so much as inconvenienced by this loss; hell, he might feel it validates his worst decisions as President because the lesson Dems take from losing elections is always "we should have moved further right".

This was about saving lives. This was about protecting people. And we failed. People are going to die because we failed.

going insane hearing talk about whether harris did enough to "earn" votes. no candidate has ever or can ever earn my vote because a vote is not a payment i send to a politician and it's stupid to think about it like it is. exact same thinking error that leads to people talking about not voting like it's a boycott. if anyone earned my vote it's the people i tried to use that vote to protect

#Snail rebubbles #uspol #we live in a nation of murderous leaders no matter what we do #we shouldn't have had to choose between two murderers #but what kills me #maybe literally at this point #is that faced with this choice we couldn't even choose fewer murders #people chose to protest death and suffering by increasing it to the greatest amount possible #people chose death and suffering deliberately because they desired harm to others above even their own wellbeing #people whose wealth already outstrips their ability to spend it chose death and suffering in hopes of amassing ever more bloodstained gold #people chose death and suffering because they weren't paying attention #voting against Trump was the bare minimum for keeping more people alive #if you couldn't be bothered to do that much then I have to assume those lives don't actually matter very much to you
