FAQ

Q: why not organize and stop treating the bus as a legitimate entity? why aren’t you working to stop the bus?

A: do both. cut the fuel line. break windows. put oatmeal in the gas tank. but maybe your efforts don’t succeed this election cycle. and if so don’t fucking throw away your vote if it can help your neighbors fucking survive. “harm reduction” is not a political strategy for action. it is a last minute, end of the line decision to save lives, after all other resources have been exhausted.

    Though I agree that would be ideal, it also takes more work than just saying “see those guys want to make your life worse, we might not do that openly, vote for us because there’s no other choice”

    Humans are lazy, and power hungry. Even Democrats.

      The Democrats know who they need to vote for them, and those people have made it clear what they want. There are no “moderate” Republicans that are gonna vote Biden, so he needs to actually listen to the people who will vote for him and give them what they want. And they want it now because they aren’t gonna fall for the the Democrat bait and switch anymore.

      People can get as mad as they want about people using their vote to get what they want, but that’s literally hiw the system is designed to work.

        so he needs to actually listen to the people who will vote for him and give them what they want

        Why? It’s more work. And who are you gonna vote for anyways? Someone else that will end up with Drumpf again?

        Like I said, humans are lazy and power hungry.
