      Then get everyone you know to vote, join a union, organize, strike in the worst case. Voting is not your only option.

      And for the people for whom that difference is life and death, your apathy is nothing short of collaboration in their murder.

        People will die no matter what I choose. They’ll die from failed abortions in Texas or they’ll die from Israeli bombs in Gaza. The world is shit and has gotten worse despite me voting as often as I can.

          And yet it will get even worse if you don’t, and it will be your fault for not doing so.

          When you have the choice between bad and not as bad, letting bad win puts the responsibility for that on your shoulders.

          You don’t get to call yourself an ally if you don’t commit to the work of harm mitigation.

          If you choose to not even do the minimum amount of work of solidarity, you are the white moderate Dr. King railed about in Birmingham.

          All the frilly talk of supporting the cause with none of the action to back it up. Having to be bullied shamed and yelled at for the soul crushing Herculean task of standing in a line to fill a form out.
