FAQ

Q: why not organize and stop treating the bus as a legitimate entity? why aren’t you working to stop the bus?

A: do both. cut the fuel line. break windows. put oatmeal in the gas tank. but maybe your efforts don’t succeed this election cycle. and if so don’t fucking throw away your vote if it can help your neighbors fucking survive. “harm reduction” is not a political strategy for action. it is a last minute, end of the line decision to save lives, after all other resources have been exhausted.

The four people vote and you still drive off a cliff due to gerrymandering

Some kind of proportional representation would fix that. For a whole pile of reasons, I like Sequential Proportional Approval Voting.

Just because you seem interested. Gerrymandering is a larger part of the Modifiable Areal Unit Problem
