Are you under the impression that letting Trump win isn't sacrificing millions of Palestinians and migrants and Black people?
You're constructing a scenario where Kamala Harris is a step down, in terms of Gaza/migrant/black, but it was worth it because of trans rights. I don't think there was anyone in the conversation who was saying that. We're voting for her because she is an improvement over the only other possible option in this election at this point, by about a 1,000 mile margin.
She's not gonna do squat about police brutality. She's not gonna close the concentration camps for migrants. She's not gonna stop the genocide at Gaza and Lebanon. She's not gonna defend trans rights. She's not gonna undo Trump's policies upheld by Biden. What are you even voting for? The election is Trump versus Trump-lite-but-female. Trumpism will win the election either way.
Having to clean the cat box is unpleasant, so I’m going to eat all the cat shit, rub my face all around in it, then get in the bathtub and pour all the cat box litter all over myself and hit myself in the head with a hammer until I pass out. I call it, “cleaning-the-cat-box-lite-but-in-the-bathtub.” I’ll have to clean the cat box either way.
You have no power, don't you see that? You're powerless. The fascists already won and you have no choice but to choose between fascism and fascism. Revel in your powerlessness.
That’s from Bobby Sands, right? I know I’ve heard that quote somewhere before, on the importance of giving up. I think I might get it framed and put it on the wall of my study.
