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.

    No.

    I will never vote for Joe Biden again and no painfully stretched metaphor is going to change that.

      Awesome! Are you going to vote third party?. I’m voting for either Dr West or Claudia La Cruz. I’d recommend either of them to you stranger 👈😎

      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.

        characterizing present day america as “ice cream” is patently absurd. suggesting that a second trump term would be driving off a cliff when we all survived the first one despite a literal pandemic is even sillier.

        but the real crazy part is suggesting that there’s a gulf as wide as “ice cream vs driving off a cliff” between the two candidates.

        the numbers are trash but that’s neither here nor there.
