FAQ

Q: why not organize and stop treating the bus as a legitimate entity? why aren’t you working to stop the bus?

A: do both. cut the fuel line. break windows. put oatmeal in the gas tank. but maybe your efforts don’t succeed this election cycle. and if so don’t fucking throw away your vote if it can help your neighbors fucking survive. “harm reduction” is not a political strategy for action. it is a last minute, end of the line decision to save lives, after all other resources have been exhausted.

two part answer:

  1. the president isn’t the only one being elected; you have opportunities for local representation as well

  2. flipping cities and states from red to blue literally happens sometimes

hope this helps :)

I do actually care about other elections, but this post seemed to be specifically about the presidential election.

cool! speaking as OP, it’s not specifically about the presidential election; others kind of coopted/assumed such which i get but all of this stuff applies to all voting 😊
