Besides the fact that we can't vote our way out of imperialism, I'm surprised by how many people have forgotten that there are candidates who aren't democrat or republican.
So if you're pushing that we need to vote for damage control, then why not at least advocate for someone who isn't currently causing damage? Why aren't you advocating for a more progressive 3rd party candidate? Why are you putting so much energy into telling people to "vote blue no matter who" as if that's our only option?
"But voting 3rd party doesn't work" yeah because 1. our elections are gerrymandered to shit and the electoral college exists and 2. you won't stop pushing for BLUE NO MATTER WHO and refuse to work with anyone else to organize a campaign for a 3rd party. You're part of that problem.
Either way, our elections are rigged. We can't pretend like they're not.
Remember how Hillary won the popular vote by over 2 million votes, but Trump won anyway because of the electoral college?
And did we forget that it's been proven time and time again that politicians are paid off by companies that want them to vote a certain way? Even (gasp!) democrats?
And if choosing between 2 genocidal people is going to be our only option....then maybe it's time to work together to dismantle the system altogether. We literally CAN NOT wait for democrats to save us. There isn't time with how bad climate change is getting and how many people are dying from war. WE DON'T HAVE TIME TO WAIT EVERY 4 YEARS FOR "DAMAGE CONTROL."
