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.

      You’re just letting perfect be the enemy of good. And while unfortunately “good” is not really that good, the alternative is way too dangerous to risk it over moral principles. It’s sad, but as long as FPTP stays in place the only correct choice is to vote for the “least bad” of the main two.

        voting for bad people is bad. it’s not that I’m letting perfect be the enemy of the good. im letting good be the enemy of bad.

          I mean, do whatever you want, it’s clear you’re not going to change your mind. Just keep in mind that if Trump wins, you also contributed to that.

              You contributed to that by not voting for Trump, yes. That’s FPTP.

              It absolutely makes no sense but it’s the system in place and there’s pretty much nothing people can do about it short of overthrowing the government.

                your story seems convoluted. i say the people who vote for trump are responsible for trump getting elected, and the people who vote for biden are responsible for him getting elected, and someone who votes for neither of them is not responsible for either of them getting elected.
