“Um but having a democrat in charge hasn’t fixed everything” 1) republicans have the majority in the house and senate 2) fuckin reagan’s policies still have a significant impact today, you think one administration can undo trump’s shit in 4 years? 3) if Any lives are saved or significantly improved by having democrats in office it’s worth it. Yeah the fact that a Good Guy can’t get elected and easily change anything is part of why an entirely different system is needed but personally I would like for as many people as possible to be alive to see that happen

I feel like I’m not even allowed to say “yeah I don’t like the guy either” without getting dunked on for being a “lesser of two evils” person or having no moral backbone or whatever but like. Maybe having a moral backbone involves giving more fucks about material reality than symbolic expression of displeasure (with issues that affect others more than you)

#ppl who think voting is cringe and evil won’t do anything else either #it’s fully about not wanting to think about things that hurt other people #like do you even want some other change to happen or do you just want people to shut up #notice I didn’t say ‘people who don’t vote’ as a whole. I’m talking abt people who loudly discourage voting #one thing I will give you people is the ‘hold Biden accountable’ thing is cringe like how do u intend to do that #it’s just. talking about our country’s issues in a way that doesn’t blame him and only him is seen as defending him #multiple things can be true etc #mine #txt
