  • The way out of a death spiral is not directly into oblivion. It fucking sucks that genocide is in the category of really important things that need addressing but it is not in the category of things that can be addressed in this particular election.

    The electoral path is not at the ballot box every four years at the presidential level. It’s down the ballot and on the other the years. It’s building political capital for the cause you believe in by showing usefulness to the people seeking or holding power and talking to them about the issues you care about. Volunteer for your local house candidate and talk to people in their campaign about how important it is to you that they don’t support genocide, urge them to vote against arms shipments and denounce settlements. Tell your representative how you want them to vote and get other people to do the same.

    Working to get people elected gets them to listen to you, that’s why there’s so much money involved in elections.

    Not in those words

    I’m voting both pragmatically and with my conscience by voting for Claudia De La Crúz.

    With the goal of

    Removing legitimacy from the system itself, and forcing the DNC to appeal to the left

    Is that not good? Or is it not real?

    Or maybe it won’t have that effect? Because that’s an idealistic plan, not a pragmatic one
