Left-leaning voters online have rallied around Kamala Harris this week, and many are increasingly critical of those who have said they’ll withhold their vote.
People have been saying it buys time for generations, buys time and what we have gained? Gained no more progress for civil rights and labor rights and wage rights and housing rights and healthcare rights. For the last hundred years we’ve been having the same conversations about these inequalities for several generations. And we will have these same conversations for the next few generations because we are getting nowhere because people have convinced themselves that they are buying time with a slow poison.
Harm reduction and buying time relies on a hypothetical worse future, so you don’t spend time concerned about the horrible present. Keeping you always asking for the potential of something better later instead of demanding a better now
No one’s saying you’re not allowed to take other actions too. They’ll be harder to enact under P2025
For the last hundred years every advance we have made was under one party, and the worst of the steps back were made under the other. Real change is made from the ground up, voting isn’t sufficient, but it is necessary. It’s like you refuse to acknowledge the basic logic.
I’m not saying you’re a troll trying to split leftists away from the democratic candidate so the fascists can win, but if you were, how would your talking points be different?
Because there is no logic, I’m not trying to split leftists away from the Democratic candidate because if they are leftists they would not be voting for a Democratic candidate.

My point exactly.
