I know I'm going against the grain here, I'm obviously no Harris lover, but also I'd prefer to be allowed to continue existing. If that's controversial in leftist spaces then maybe I don't want to spend any more time in leftist spaces.
Telling people in danger that their attempts to save themselves are contemptible is nothing but cynical callousness.
It's children whining about how life is unfair but instead of actually trying to do something about it now, they'd rather feel smugly superior as they do fuckall and "wait for the revolution" or whatever.
Do I believe positive change is quick or easy? Fuck no. It's hard work and it takes a ton of us working together. I harbor no illusions that my own singular voice will ever matter on a large scale, and I will happily take up my arms to defend the rights of those whose only crime is existing while lgbtq+/poc/whatever, but I'm gonna vote and campaign and everything I can do in the meantime.
Whether we're headed for a cliff as a species or not is irrelevant, I don't feel the need to hit the gas or sit back while mocking the people who are trying to stop the bus.
This 100%, I actually own firearms in the event I might have to defend myself from a fascist takeover. BUT I'D REALLY RATHER NOT THINGS COME TO THAT. I don't want to ever have to use them, so you can bet your ass I voted for Harris to try and prevent that scenario as much as possible.
