I’m seriously considering voting for Tim Fucking Ryan. This won’t be the first time I’ve cast a ballot for monstrous bourgeois pigs. Do I have to turn in my card if I admit to voting for Joe Biden? If I had known the horrific treatment of immigrants would only intensify under him, I might have not voted in 2020, but he dangled hope over all our heads, and I was one of the idiots who reached to grab it.
I find myself cyclically struggling with the urge to vote. Obviously, the midterms are tomorrow, and I’m getting fearful that the fascists will win. I worry about the queer community, I worry about reproductive rights, and I worry about all the other shit. If I vote, I’m going to vote Democrat down the line. Nothing will change, but maybe things won’t change for the worse.
It’s frustrating that the only thing we can do within the parameters of the capitalist system is swallow these bad-faith choices. I would like to do literally anything else, but I can’t. Liberal politics is an addictive drug.
Democrats are enablers of every worst behaviour of Republicans. Then they cynically hold the rights of marginalised peoples over peoples heads as blackmail to get people so afraid they vote for them. To me it seems like psychological abuse.
I remember reading in US that democrats will actually finance the campaigns of the most right wing nutjob magatards because they cynically view it as easier to win against. So they are basically amplifying their hateful rhetoric? This is the behaviour of a supposed ally to lgbt or immigrants?
