I need to do work and keep my fucking job, so I’m getting back to it with this fire ringing in my ears.

Looks like I’ll be donating more money and knocking on more doors than I planned over the next few months.

Now is not the time for that “But this candidate has done some ~problematic~ things before!!” “They don’t line up with my beliefs 100%!” “10 years ago they didn’t support X issue!” “But her emails though!”.

We’re well past that. We need to take some of the power back. THEN we can bitch and moan and make noise about the policies and positions of various candidates that need to change. Because when the choice is between “isn’t perfect but probably doesn’t want LGBT+/women/minorities/disabled people/immigrants to suffer” vs “blatantly homo-trans-bi-ace-phobic/misogynistic/ableist/racist”…there’s really not a choice.
