All federal elections are illegitimate. Voter suppression, the electoral college, America’s failure to make Election Day a paid day off, extremely frail voting infrastructure, legalized and (barely) regulated corruption (lobbying) and more all worked together to get Trump one single win, but the second time around, even despite all of these things working as advantages to republicans, Trump still lost to a different geriatric rapist imperialist because on top of having wildly lowered popular appeal, he also proved to be harmful to America’s status quo.
Everything is broken, so let’s allow the people breaking things to break even more things. Then once absolutely nothing works, surely then someone else will make things better.
Yours is a lazy argument from a do nothing slacktervist point of view.
Because when people think things couldn’t get much worse, they are always proven wrong.
You keep fighting to make things better because they will always find another level below rock bottom. You don’t fight for the status quo. You don’t fight expecting perfection. You fight to let them know you’re going to keep fighting and that you’re never going away.
I feel where you’re coming from, have you read very much black panthers literature? Angela Davis/Kwame Ture/Fred Hampton really took my hatred of white supremacy and crystalized it into meaningful direction and understanding
