I agree, but that fight isn’t fought at the ballot box. It’s fought long before then. This is the part that most people don’t understand. They say “but I voted!” as though it’s all anyone could ask of them. But it’s the opposite of that. It’s the least they could do for their democracy. It’s between elections that the real changes are made.
Once you get to the election there are only two options left. You’ve passed the point of other options. You pick the best one, or you stand the chance of the worst candidate winning. It’s not right, but the election came down to Kamala and Trump. A third of the voting population voted for Trump, a third for Kamala, and a third didn’t give a shit and allowed the fascist to win.
