I want to get off of Mr Bones Wild Ride
Seriously though this is why being politically active AND voting is God damned important.

They’re geared up for the authoritarian state. Corporate rule. Gutted EPA, FFA, etc. No privacy. Moderated online content. Increase the “domestic supply of infants” (read: work and military forces) by making women more brood mare like (see: Roes fall). And now a president is more like a king and can do anything. All of it points in one general direction.

Voting seems to be doing fuck-all if I’m being perfectly honest. We need to stop coasting to a stop and slam on the brakes.

Voting without being politically active does do fuck all. But not voting ensures that the people you really don’t want to win can do so without any pushback.

Voting costs you nothing and you should do it, even if it feels like a waste of time. However, going to BLM in 2020 made me realize how pointless being “politically active” is. Nothing will change for the better in the US unless people arm themselves and strike fear into the state itself.

Just think, November 5th of 2024 may be the last time American's can vote freely in a presidential election.

I can’t wait to freely cast my ballot for either a genocidal capitalist or a worse genocidal capitalist.

We have a first past the post voting system. You never vote FOR anyone. You vote AGAINST who you hate most. A vote for a third party, or not voting, is literally identical to voting for who you hate most.
You can rage against that all you like, but that’s the reality of our current system. So even choosing to do nothing is a positive action on your part.
Now, you can say you hate them equally. But that just means you care ZERO about things like DEI, women, abortion rights, etc. Can you honestly say you care zero about those things?
