Don’t say shit about caring about trans people, gay people, Black people, brown people, immigrants or your own damn self if you don’t VOTE for Biden. And, you can kiss my ass too.
@StillIRise1963 I don't much like it but I'm voting Biden - and Dems on down.
We've seen this outcome before (Bush 2) when the vote was split and we paid a heavy price (9/11, war, recession)- only this time will be significantly worse for anyone not white, rich, and having some degree of power/influence.
Even the massive marches defying Trump had no impact on our government. They just beefed up LE. He will cause tremendous harm globally.
It's not even a hard decision to vote against GOP/MAGA.
@VirginiaMurr I especially wanted to make the point that if you can't bring yourself to vote FOR Biden, use your opportunity to vote AGAINST MAGA.
I understand people are pissed at Biden. I am too! The price is too high to flex our moral muscles right now.
Protest. Call your reps. Donate. Volunteer. Do what you can to help others, but please don't flush our remaining freedoms because you hate Biden's position on Gaza.
Hand Dems a win and then hold their feet to the fire.
@KatM@VirginiaMurr@StillIRise1963 I'm not sure people understand that boycotting voting isn't like boycotting a business. The political machine won't shrink for lack of participation. Quite the opposite.
@janisf@StillIRise1963 i dont get why some of my fellow anarchists don't understand that you can both vote and do other kinds of praxis, like you said, the political machine isnt gonna crumble and die just bc ppl stopped voting.. just bc biden is bad doesnt mean we shouldnt vote when the alternative is literal fascism. Biden may be bad but trump is gonna do both overseas genocide and also domestic genocide federally. right now the genocide is only in a couple states. we need to keep the situation from getting worse. voting for biden saves lives from being harmed. I dont get why some ppl cant understand this.
The situation for minorities is dire enough.. it doesnt need to be made worse.
@paragon @janisf@StillIRise1963
It's about harm reduction honestly. As much as I fucking loathe Biden as the douchebag he is, he is the less harmful option. Still going to vote.
@liliththehellhound@StillIRise1963@janisf That's what im saying. its harm reduction. Some anarchists are too stuck in their book theory to look at reality. It only hurts us trans folx if trump wins. Trump is gonna forcefully detransition every trans person in the US if he wins. Its gonna be a massive genocide. Dont let hate win.
@paragon@liliththehellhound@StillIRise1963@janisf Absolutely harm reduction. As an anarchist, I'm in favor of mutual aid and that means supporting the people who are most at risk under a Trump presidency.
@StillIRise1963 also climate oh my god climate. Things aren’t looking good but holy shit the suffering that will happen if we follow the GOP’s path on climate…
