    As a queer non-white person who is constantly harassed by right-wingers, voting blue is a way for people to check in with their community one day in November every four years.

    The fascists are already here. They have been lynching my people, your people, and anyone else they can get away with. They escape the law because the law in the US is upheld by fascists and their enablers.

    Biden didn’t close the camps at the border. He didn’t make covid safer. He didn’t pack the courts or use his executive powers to prevent the overturn of Roe v Wade.

    I don’t have the privilege of voting third party. I have the priority of taking care of the people in my life because the two major parties are engaged in political theater.

        I have read about it. It’s bad. The republican party is getting overrun by mask-off fascists. I know they’re an existential threat to me and mine.

        It’s really something the DNC should consider when making their campaign platform. They still have time to engage people and mobilize voters.
