    Voting has nothing to do with harm reduction you twit. Harm reduction is mutual aid and community organizing in direct action that actually fucking stops the harm from happening.

    Throwing your vote into a hat and hoping for the best doesn’t do shit to actually prevent or stop harm from happening. It just lets people pretend they actually got off their ass and did something.

      Not voting led to Trump, who is objectively more harmful. Elections have consequences, vote, you muppet.

          I did read the article. “Everything’s fucked, bury me!” would have been more succinct, and offers just as many solutions. Voting, unlike a magical revolution, actually exists, and actively refusing to exercise political power to create change makes you a moron.

            Wow you are incredibly dim if that is what you interpreted. No wonder you are the way you are with media literacy that abysmal. Again, I’m doubting that you even actually read the article.

        Read the article.

        Trump is the result of voting. That is the consequence of electoralism and always will be.
