Who cares?

The media is pushing this narrative about "Trump voters" so that liberals will go "FAFO" and jerk off about leopards. The fact remains that most of the people hurt by these policies didn't vote for them.

I loathe voting for neoliberals. I'm fully aware it's harm reduction and this ship has been sinking under Neoliberals and Fascists since Reagan converted his former opposition to the corpo take into today. I haven't had a candidate to vote for in a general election in my entire life. I'm 40. Yes Ive volunteered in primaries for a better path.

But I did eat the rancid shit and vote neoliberal every time, because affirmation ribbons you can't eat or live inside are still better than scapegoats. I hated voting for Kerry, Obama, Clinton, Biden, and Harris, but I took my medicine and did it with a funeral dirge in my heart telling myself it's better that less people get hurt than more. The ship has been sinking my entire voting life regardless of party, but it's been crystal clear it sinks faster under fascists than neoliberals. Something something to that starfish it mattered.

The people that could vote for Harris but didn't can get fucked right along with the Trump voters as far as I'm concerned. My empathy is reserved for people too young to vote and people who voted against this.

Willful ignorance about your own society and governance is no excuse. "Teehee I'm not political I'm keeping up with the Kardashians/stupid sports GAMES" means you didnt care about anyone else, feel free to diaf.

I voted Harris. But at this point, i am thinking that the Democratic Party must be corralled first before trying to take on the republicans. So now i am looking for third party or independent in the future.

Keep dreaming.

Midterms are less than 24 months away. You're not going to get a viable third party.

If you want progress, start finding and supporting the Dems you like in the primaries.

Find dems in primaries that agree with you. If you can't find one reasonable close, run yourself. That's my mindset. Already trying to make connections to run myself

Ex - NYC Mayor Ed Koch made the best point. "If you agree with me 51%, vote for me. If you agree with me 100% see a psychiatrist."

On that not didn't Ed Koch's incompetence with an Ice Ring help make Trump more famous in New York?
