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.

Nine people= voting population of USA

Three vote to drive off cliff = MAGA plurality

Two vote for ice cream = Biden voters

Four abstain because it's shitty ice cream = abstaining voters who presumably don't want to die but also don't want shitty ice cream

If that's painfully stretched, I would like to see your definition of a straightforward metaphor...I guess "life is a rollercoaster" must take some PhD level analysis to understand.

"Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that."
