    TIL The Baha’i Faith doesn’t exist. You are being tankie-ish with this gatekeeping. We have exactly two options. No more, no less. Until we can get rid of our first genuinely honest mistake, FPTP will consistently make the vote a decision between literal evil, and harm reduction. I vote for harm reduction, despite calling them and telling them how to be better once a week. I don’t have a better option, because sitting out allows fascism to take over.

    Please tell me, a former USN Captain, an entrepreneur, and a finally retired food Safety manager, IT manager, and QA manager, as well as a literal Jack of All Trades, a master of a few, and a literal Nuclear Power Program Electronics Technician Instructor, what the ever loving fuck I can do? I am not allowed to be part of a political party, I’m only allowed to vote, protest, and take up arms against threats to my community.

    The first two I’m already doing.

      YOU have 2 options, you can’t get rid of a system you’re actively participating in. This mentality is like that of the abused spouse, ‘he beats me but I love him so much’ so the beating either gets worse, and/or the spouse is eventually killed from it.

      The rest of us will refuse to participate in a system of exploitation and death. You as an individual person can’t do shit to create change, millions of us collectively can.
