A little over two weeks left, and people are losing their freakin’ minds. And I get it: We have a lot more to lose than they do. If we win, their lives will improve (whether they want to admit it ...
It confuses me when people who argue “both sides” claim to support all those left policies when they don’t appear to have empathy or awareness of the marginalized.
They don’t even really seem to support left policies that go much of anywhere outside the scope of not voting for Democrats.
They’re not advocating for RCV, supporting protest movements or local races with prominent lefty candidates, or harping on critical climate issues or actions that fall outside the scope of electoral politics completely let alone the specific action of who you’re going to vote for in November. They care a lot about politics. But mostly, what they want you to do is not vote for Democrats.
A very cynical person could draw a particular conclusion from that, but I’m not that person, so I won’t.

Well, not that cynical.
