And, again, if you *can't* vote for whatever reason, that's fine. I will even accept arguments of indigenous sovereignty for that. But to be able and refuse is ridiculous. It's simple and it *does* help. Whether it be showing up during the primaries to vote for Sanders or during the general election to vote against Trump, voting can help. It is not an end-all-be-all solution. Don't waste time helping candidates. But at least take the time to fucking vote.

Because this is a topic coming across my timeline again, let me be clear about something: voting *is* harm reduction. However, voting is harm reduction ≠ expend all your effort towards electoral politics. Voting is a simple action that you should do if you are at all able. To be able and refuse is to be indirectly complicit in the deaths that would occur under, say, a second Trump term. But you should be doing stuff outside the extant systems *alongside* spending time at the voting booth.
Anyway, in my ideal utopia, no one would ever have to pay for any necessities ever which means:
- free food
- free housing
- free healthcare
- free education
- free wifi
- unlimited library access
even if voting is bad, it’s still important. to use the example of the prisoners dilemma,,
let’s say the best outcome is anarchy, when *no one* votes. if everyone votes, the most democratic candidate gets elected, etc.. but if only some people vote, we end up with a biased candidate
so unfortunately i can guarantee you that legions of centrist boomers are showing up to the polls tomorrow. that means the best two outcomes are off the table
if you don’t vote we get the centrist boomer candidate

TBF, I do suspect I might be aegosexual, but my love of garlic bread ain't why
re: maybe lewd, no context
When I first heard that, my brain went to "bottom" as "ass", so it's your experimental butt, but then I remembered that bottoms are mostly a lewd thing around here, what with the whole top/bottom distinction. So, lewd.
