    Yeah I read the summary that was provided but it provided exactly zero meaningful insight about the importance of preventing far right takeover of US government and did little to acknowledge the terrible foreign policy that Republicans have shown again and again. You really think DeSantis/Trump won’t both support the genocide by Israel?

    Even not mentioning that fact, who is this taking voted away from? Because it’s not the most dangerous candidates that will have an outsized impact on our democracy, one of which has literally already attempted a coup, calls his political opposition vermin and other fascie shit.

    If you take your head out of your ass you’ll certainly realize that not every election is the most important election of our lives, but if you’ve ever studied history or the rise to power of fascist leaders throughout history, you’d also know that this one is quite fucking important to US democracy.

    You can always begin change with local elections and grassroots movements. Actually go make the change you want to see in our political sphere. Start by convincing people in your community and it will start to spread. There’s a reason some blue states actually vote for independents and it’s that they’ve done the work to have that luxury by convincing the people around them not to be obvious racist dickheads.

    It all has to start somewhere, but if you think it starts at the ballot box I think you just have a fundamental misunderstanding of how change is actually made, at least in the US.
