Truthfully, do you think voting for the less evil is a better course of action than directly addressing an issue? If the Rs say "deport all non-whites" and the Ds say "deport non-whites with records", do you really think we should vote for the lesser evil instead of stopping the racist deportations?
If chipping away at shit works one way it works the other. Nobody is shifting the pendulum in massive strokes overnight. And so you accept things that don't necessarily comport with your goal, or you get what we got.
I'm also from Jersey and your name speaks to me.
I really don't think we can say the pendulum isn't being shifted in massive strokes overnight when this administration is literally destroying our way of life in massive strokes every hour. The time for the "lesser evil" was ages ago. The time for direct action is now.
I'm always glad to stumble upon another NJ person on Lemmy! My anarchism flies out of the window when it comes to loving Jersey. It's my home, despite people arguing I'm not from here due to the color of my skin. In my lifetime, sea level rising will reshape what this great state looks like. Homelessness in Atlantic City is bad now, it's going to be a thousand times worse when the area is under water. This is why I don't think we can settle for small changes. We need drastic actions, yesterday.
