2020 was… truly unique. It was so hard to stay away from doom scrolling, and I (and many others) were pretty disillusioned by the sad fact that so much of our country legitimately supported the Orange Man. I didn't get a wink of sleep the night of the election because I genuinely considered it to be a make or break decision for America.

My point is that looking back on it, in the end the only real difference I made was at the ballet box. This year I'm going for the Head-in-the-Sand approach. I'm done with the political memes. Done with the Twitter screenshots. It just riles me up and this year I'm gonna do my best to fight that.

      Voting is the least you can do, so I will choose to vote against Capitalists and not for genocide. If you can't even do that bare minimum, you don't deserve democracy.

              I'd be happy to vote for someone better who isn't pro-capitalist and pro-genocide, who do you suggest?

                  It's a bit cliche and a little too individualistic for what is supposed to be literally rule by the people, so I'll gladly embrace the democratic ideal of voting for the organization I think will not support genocide and is not capitalist. After all it is literally the least anyone can do.

            The Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL) is a communist party in the United States. PSL was established in 2004 and claims to be active in a wide range of social movements. PSL describes its primary goal as the overthrow of capitalism and the institution of socialism.

            Yeah, that sounds viable. 🙄
