(1,977 posts)This is the thing I don't get around here. You start talking about the very real circumstances that we are facing and people accuse you of giving up, which is beyond frustrating AF! Tired of having to do it with one hand behind our back but not giving up!
There is a reality that we are being fucked six ways to Sunday in this country right now and if we do not do something about it we will lose our country if we haven't lost it already. That isn't giving up. that is recognizing just what the hell we are up against right now. JUST holding out hope to vote 10 damn months from now in an election that may or may not be legit isn't really going to cut it anymore. I can make phone calls all day long and beg every single person in my life to vote, but I fear that isn't going to be enough.
I have been in the streets, in protests but we need to be doing a lot more. I mean for fucks sake we have concentration camps in this country RIGHT NOW. We have a criminal AG who uses his position to protect a criminal administration. We have an administration that guts protections for the people every day. We have a senate that isn't listening to 75% of the people. Voting is a small piece of civic duties. When we have a government so off the rails we need to do something about it. Or we will lose it.
