    In a lot of cases, both of them take contributions from and are supported by AIPAC, but that’s why it’s a matter of voting against the one that wants to dismantle USAID, by doing so killing a fuckton of children.

    People not voting based on principle factors significantly into how we’re now watching Trump implement Project 2025.

    It’s a system that is willfully rigged to force you to choose between bad choices hence establish contrived consent. But we’re going to be subject to the consequences of the election whether or not we vote ethically or pragmatically.

      Doesn’t genocide kill a fuckton of children? If the system only gives you options where a fuckton of children get killed then the system needs to change and you aren’t doing that by voting for the lesser evil that’s still evil.

        Which is why voting is not the only thing we need to be doing.

        Americans failing to vote is how we lost USAID, an action which also caused the death of a fuckton of children. If the US wasn’t afraid of black women in office, a lot of dead people would, in fact, be very much alive, and more reasonable minds would be trying to solve the crisis in Gaza.
