Maybe I don’t have any bargaining power in the first place, in which case what I do is irrelevant.
The only power you have outside of protesting and activism is voting in the primaries and general.
We have the power to reduce harm in the general election, but not to stop all harm. Either Biden or Trump will win, and there will be harm regardless. Voting 3rd party doesn’t stop that.
There wasn’t enough political will to vote for a better candidate than Biden in the primaries, so there sure as hell will not be the political will to vote for a better candidate in the general.
I’m bi, so chances are I’ll be next on the chopping block after you if Trump gets elected, so believe me I can empathize with your position. Trump will make the genocide in Palestine worse, and on top of that probably start a new one here. Biden isn’t going to get either of us killed.
Bargaining with the useless police while your family is getting murdered isn’t helping anyone. The negotiation table doesn’t mean anything, because the negotiation table will take too long. By the time it works, the mob boss will already have you dead.
I’m not calling for the sacrificing of Palestinians.
You don’t have long term security with this approach. Because Trump won’t give a flying fuck whether you force the DNC to act better. Trump is your security risk.
Allowing Trump to get power will be what makes you complicit in your own demise.
They will never come to the table in time. You’ll/we’ll be dead before then.
