Not looking to start a debate, and as an anarchist I’ve come to a pretty solid conclusion that election isn’t going to fix anything, but I also see the point that Trump and his supporters are more extreme fascists than the obvious fascist currently in office.
But it’s not like we have time to deal with incremental change like the liberals think. Our planet is dying, people are being killed, tortured, imprisoned, and displaced by our current leadership and system. So how can I validate that?
I’d love to hear some thoughts because I honestly don’t know what to do.
Keep in mind I’ve had family deported under Biden who continues to double down on his support for border fascism and his dissemination of the myth of a “border crisis.” Keep in mind that people may have friends and loved ones who’ve died or been displaced in Palestine due to Biden’s support for the genocidal state of Israel.
And please avoid telling me that Trump is un-American or that he wants to destroy America, because that honestly sounds like you’re heaping praise on him.
I’d like to know how/if you think I should vote, but also what more urgent action we can take because we’re not going to make it at this rate, no matter which rich white dude ends up in office.
This thread is open to share your perspective. Just don’t be an asshole, please.
Yeah also thinking about my job because I do feel I help people in what I do, but it’s frustrating here. It’s hard to think straight with so many people screaming about the election when, like you said, it’s not even the most important thing. It’s also quite scary here in many ways for my husband and me. Got a lot to think about. Thank you for your comment. I’ll look for ways to find those like-minded people.
