Congrats! I escaped Houston a couple of years back and I know how hard that can be!

I’ve seen people debate this endlessly, but I’ve never seen anyone on the side of not voting explain anything beyond “I don’t want to support genocide” as if the republicans aren’t just as gung ho about killing children. What is the utility in not participating in the election? What do you think not voting will achieve?
I’m already planning not to vote for Republicans.
I pay careful attention to local races and evaluate every candidate because I believe voting to be a civic rssponsibility.
But my fundamental principle when choosing who to vote for is not tactical, but moral. I will not vote in support of people that I believe will perpetuate injustice in the world.
You aren’t sending a signal and you certainly aren’t making the democrats commit less genocide.
Voting downballot but making no choice for president sends a very clear signal. The DNC just decided they didn’t need the uncommitted vote and they’re probably right.
Voting democrat is the lesser evil and will have actual positive results for people living in the US, and it isn’t mutually exclusive with other ways of enacting change.
I disagree on principle. Voting for a lesser evil is still voting to perpetuate evil. At best, it maintains an intolerable status quo, and it comes from a fear of the radical change that we know is sorely needed. “Lesser evilism” is conservatism.
If Democrats want trans folks like me to vote for them then maybe they should stop helping Israel blow up children.
Seems like a really, really low bar but this is America so my expectations were already below sea level.

Have they fired that cop yet?

Yeah! I dunno why I’ll get a notification that my post wasn’t uploaded because of a timeout, only to find out later that it actually did. XD

Are you kidding? That’s a good end. Big ol’ red flag right off the bat.
Right-wingers don’t see children as people. They’re aggrieved that the state is involved in their property.
With how much Houston floods, I doubt that underground lines would be beneficial in the long run.
I love the way Weskers draws paws, and I got a commission from Larru Larru a few months back.
Total Harshit move.
Hence this discussion where I made my intentions known well in advance of the election.
Direct action is an easy way to end up in jail (even feeding the homeless is illegal now) and third-parties are useless due to our first-past-the-post electoral system.
The best long-term courses of action are mutual aid and the development of alternative structures of power that can serve human needs without being subject to the whims of the existing political establishment.
This is acceptable.
