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.
People need to lower their expectations about what voting is. It’s like paying your taxes. It’s not fun, you probably won’t get what you want, and you have to do it every year. Also, individual votes don’t really matter, especially if your candidate loses. And there’s a ton of things in the way of getting things done so it’s going to take a long time.
