I work with people in need and I send humanitarian aid. I'm doing what I am able to do, exhausting my savings and putting my future on the line for them. What did you actually do?
And that's great on a personal level, but what did it do in terms of this choice where Gaza was not featured but the possibility of a second genocide on your doorstep or the death of the democratic process that protects your right to protest and send that aid at all was being happily speculated on?
It didn't give a vote to a candidate that supports a genocide.
Uh huh. I hope that continues to feel worth it.
