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 are assuming that the only options that exist are voting for either guy or not voting. Which is the main thing I'm trying to bring attention to as you are not the first person to comment in such a manner.

Also, Biden isn't really doing much to reverse what Trump did, including stuff that affect immigrants.

If your main means to get more voters is shaming them instead of shaming your politicians then this lesser-of-two-evils game will only get worse, it had gone worse several times already.

I'm aware that more than two parties technically exist in your country. I'm also not under the illusion that voting for one of them in the general election has an effect that's distinguishable from not voting.

I mean, except for the individual third party voter, who has to leave the house and stand in a queue when voting third party.

It's great to have a political system that allows for diverse political parties. Sadly the US in not a country where such a system exists.

Under normal circumstances, you won't be able to ever reach critical mass with a third party, and they won't give up power.

You are going out of your way to misinterpret what i say, i didn't mention a third party.
