Allies of President Biden are stepping up calls for Democrats to rally around the president following negative commentary and splits from inside the party over whether he should forgo reelection. F…
Attitudes like this honestly piss me off more than conservatives. You didn’t get the options you wanted, so you decided to just give up, take your ball, and go home. Grow the hell up. We don’t quit just because shit looks bleak, we keep on pushing until we can see the sun poking through the clouds, because that is the only way we will ever see it. If we give in to despair now, we will never get there. Even if it seems pointless, or like things aren’t getting better, I can guarantee you it can always, ALWAYS be worse. And THAT is your reason to vote.
I’m sorry if that reason isn’t as optimistic as you were hoping for, but that’s the reality that we live in. And it will never get better if we just bitch about unfairness and bury our heads in the sand. If we want things to get better, we need to make them better. And that starts with you. Please, be better than this. I know you have it in you.
Because they’re sooooo edgy and cool. I don’t understand why “I am actively hostile to everyone around me and want to prevent any positive change” is how someone wants to experience life, but there it is. They can’t be free of any nonsense, nonsense is literally all they are.
People will die no matter what I choose. They’ll die from failed abortions in Texas or they’ll die from Israeli bombs in Gaza. The world is shit and has gotten worse despite me voting as often as I can.
And yet it will get even worse if you don’t, and it will be your fault for not doing so.
When you have the choice between bad and not as bad, letting bad win puts the responsibility for that on your shoulders.
You don’t get to call yourself an ally if you don’t commit to the work of harm mitigation.
If you choose to not even do the minimum amount of work of solidarity, you are the white moderate Dr. King railed about in Birmingham.
All the frilly talk of supporting the cause with none of the action to back it up. Having to be bullied shamed and yelled at for the soul crushing Herculean task of standing in a line to fill a form out.

No, actually they’re really not. You just don’t like someone arguing against you.
Then why are you here?

The fact that you’ll be watching is why the people who’ll be burning will remember your name as a collaborator in what is done to them.
Things are getting worse even with voting though. Voting just makes them slightly less worse.
Then get everyone you know to vote, join a union, organize, strike in the worst case. Voting is not your only option.

And for the people for whom that difference is life and death, your apathy is nothing short of collaboration in their murder.
