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.

Saying that the options are “driving off a cliff or going for ice cream” is just such a stupid way to put it if you’re trying to convince leftists to vote for Biden.

It’s the fact that you think Biden is similar to going for ice cream is what’s most infuriating about liberals. It’s like driving off a cliff that will kill you vs driving off a cliff that will just maim you and possibly kill you later.

Pretending you think of Biden as the lesser of two evils in such a thinly veiled way is the annoying part. This attitude is losing Biden votes, these things are on you. It’s the “hold his feet to the fire” bullshit that you guys are feeding that you totally haven’t done, like at all.

That being said, I would probably vote Biden if I was American right now. Trump does look like shit. But I’m not for one fucking second going to pretend that I’d be sad if all of the democrats suddenly got (redacted) one day.

or maybe, yk, hijack the bus to stop it because it is headed towards a cliff anyway, just the question is how fast it'll get there. This is what a revolution means.

Buses tend to have an emergency stop that you're supposed to hit in the event that the driver has like, a heart attack, or something, right?

I will not be voting for anyone who supports a genocide. That will not change. Now there are two ways to change the outcome.

  1. If you are a genocide supporter who wants to be elected, you could stop supporting genocide, and be vocal about it.
  2. If you are someone who wants me to vote for your candidate, you could demand that they stop supporting genocide. Or demand that whatever party you like stops nominating people who support genocide.

I will not budge. Will you?
