I find that I’m constantly fighting off a feeling of utter hopelessness whenever I think about the current state of American politics. Harris’ comment yesterday, responding to all the protestors’ chants of “You can’t hide, we won’t vote for genocide,” saying in an abusive motherly tone “Keep saying that if you want Donald Trump elected” really hit hard. It just reminded me in a very raw way that Democrats are in no way on the side of humanity.
I don’t have a good response to what you said. Do I want Trump to be dictator? Of course not. Millions if not billions of lives will be ruined by that. Do I want Democrats to maintain the status quo and pretend a genocide isn’t being funded by my income? Not a fucking chance. Do I want a revolution of the working class? I don’t really know; would it save lives today, would it make lives today better, would it make lives in the near future better?
Fuck me; I want off this ride.
