people think they shouldn't vote as a protest or whatever because they've been raised on boycotts. which do sometimes work.

boycotts deprive the target of money.

not voting does not deprive the government of money.

it does, however, deprive you of power.

it's not like a boycott.

I actually hate this fucking TERF so much it hurts. Khelif has DSD (Differences of Sexual Development) so naturally has a higher amount of testosterone. Doesn't matter, she was born a woman. She was raised a woman. She identifies as a woman. She is a woman. She's a fucking Olympian. Show her some goddamn respect.

Y'all I did NOT know this about Harris, and I think it’s really critical that we all listen and understand as we approach this election. Video at the end.

This creator’s video describes how progressive Harris was as a prosecutor – actively going against the grain to the point she was accused of being soft on crime. Accused of being a social worker, not a prosecutor. She calls it being smart on crime. She’s pushing for systemic changes to give real pathways to reintegrate incarcerated folks back into society and prevent their past from continuing to haunt them moving forward.

“Kamala’s a cop” is a catchy dismissive response usually used to shut down conversation rather than add nuance. But this kind of reform is ESSENTIAL to work towards a present and future that treats incarcerated people with value.

I fell for it in 2020 and have thought “Kamala’s a cop” without further inspection since - and I’m sobered by the realization that (you guessed it!) I’m not immune to propaganda.

A better system only follows liberal democracy, because library democracy allows for exploration of better systems. If authoritarianism takes hold, it will not allow for the exploration of better systems. We will have to fight tooth and nail just to try to get back to liberal democracy, and I suspect we could not achieve it in our lifetimes.

Harris isn’t perfect. But she’s a hell of a lot better than many leftists have led me to believe. Don’t let perfection be the enemy of good. Don’t let perfection be the enemy of harm reduction.

We can either help elect Trump and usher in authoritarian fascism, or we can help defeat him and pull things back in the direction we want to go. Not liking the choices doesn’t absolve you from participating and doing the most good you can with the options available.

I’ll link the original video in the replies. The original video has captions if you need them.
