      well put and one more thing:

      People in the US need to do the same … If you vote for a third party and Trump gets in then your conscience is clear and a message has been sent.

      the SNP is an example of why both democrats and republicans fight 3rd parties from gaining a foothold on the voting ballots using things like peer pressure; friendly judges to pass down rulings against 3rd parties on ballots; and voter suppression.

      your vote matters and it’s most effective if you don’t do it the way they want you to; the lesser evil is still evil.

          Kamala’s not promising anything, let alone horeshit, so my prediction is sadly a Trump win.

          only american liberals believe she’s going to win; but even then it’s clear that most of them can feel the anxiety about her projected loss and; to be fair; she does have a decent chance at winning if the polls are as wrong as they were in 2016.

          given that they figured out the disconnects since then and 2020’s polls were spot on; i hope that the sense of mutual aid is as strong now as it was back in the 1980’s during the last our government did little more than a public show of support while idly allowing people to die by the thousands during the hiv/aids scare.

      Vote for Harris to keep democracy, push for rcv/voting systems that make third parties feasible as ballot measures.

      If Trump gets in there is no next step, we’re in Nazi America. Good luck to everyone who’s not a straight white Christian male. Palestinian genocide guaranteed to continue, Trump has stated that he’d advocate for Netanyahu going farther. Ukraine falls to Russian invasion and is genocided. DRPK starts fighting SK since we wont protect allies and Taiwan falls to mainland China. Domestically, trans people are genocided, women lose rights to birth control, child labor returns, nothing is done to mitigate climate change, rent prices, etc. The blood of millions on your hands, only way out is civil war. :Clear conscience" my ass.

        every single one of my identities is targeted in project 2025 and living through the hiv/aid epidemic proves that we can survive through mutual aid. we’ve literally been doing it for centuries and we’ve thrived well enough to push public acceptance for our issues and without the help of the democrats or the republicans or even the american government.

        they’re trotting us out like show horses to distract from the genocide and they will keep doing it until it stops working; don’t feed into it.
