    Because letting Trump win will definitely improve things on that front!

    This is why every cause you lot try to parasitically attach yourselves to becomes associated with valueless cynics.

    “We think any amount of genocide is bad!” They say to defend their choice to let even more genocide happen!

    “We think any amount of drug policing is bad!” They say to defend their choice to let drug policing get even worse!

    “We think a known lifelong stutter is enough to accuse a candidate of having Alzheimer’s and therefore worth the risk of replacing them at the 11th hour!” They say to defend their choice to let the bastard with Syphilis fueled super Alzheimer’s attain the reigns of power!

    “We think there isn’t enough priority on expanding national healthcare services!” They say to defend letting the guy who illegalized significant parts of even private healthcare in large swathes of the country back into office!

    “We think not enough is being done to address student loan forgiveness!” They say to justify empowering the people who are almost certainly planning to institute a “lib tax” for anyone who’s ever gotten a college degree to punish them for getting “indoctrinated”!

    “We have serious issues with the legacies of racial, class, gender, and identitarian inequality in this country!” They say to justify handing the reigns to the fuckasses who think the issue is that they’re only legacies and not the full effect they once were!

    Rule 1, if you can, you’re voting, and if you can’t prove you voted you have no right to show up to all the aestheticized rallies and marches and protests as if you’re anything but a play pretend ally who refuses to do even the minimum work to reduce and prevent harm to vulnerable communities.

    No “I voted” sticker, no pride flag face paint, no entry to the BLM march, have fun waiting in line at the drive through with all the other fake allies at the women’s march for your fake ally latte at Starbucks wit yo big “Bachelorette Party at a Gay Bar” energy.

      They write like I wouldn’t love it if the American electorate was more liberal instead of even African-Americans being polled at 70%+ support for sustained or increased police funding.

      I would fucking love it.

      But it’s not the reality we live in.

      You want to live in a democracy? You have to make compromises with the majority. Just the way it fucking works.

      You want a strongman daddy who will solve everything for you? Plenty of dictatorships out there looking for new bootlickers.
