Harm reduction is eating 15 pounds of shit, because the next guy will make you eat 16 pounds of shit. If you want a dental dam, you’re unrealistic.

I said then, and I say now, that while there is a lower class, I am in it, and while there is a criminal element I am of it, and while there is a soul in prison, I am not free.

“Purity politics and single issue voters are so toxic! All I said is we need to support an active genocide, fund more wars, keep kids in cages, ignore COVID, and do nothing about the cost of living going up with wages going down. Why does the left want to alienate people like me?!”

Trump is worse but let’s not pretend that Harris loves us.

And they also hated Harris’s treatment of trans inmates, forcing them to be with their sex, not their gender. Which got them killed.
But sure, I guess her record for years and the months leading up to the election don’t matter. Maybe she would have protected them in office.
Oh wait no she said she’d follow state laws. The ones that enable enmass dysphoria and social murder.

Key point, Newsom of California vetoed a bill to enable more ways to vote then just FPTP.
FPTP is in the benefit of both parties. It rallies and polarizes so any other idea besides “Let’s not find war, let’s fund education and help people” is considered too unpopular to win.

Never forget that Republicans were a third party at one time. They weren’t even on the ballot for most states in 1860, due to their abolitionist policies.
It’s 2025, no longer the Democrats vs the Whigs. But I guess no one has read history books either.

I don’t blame you, I was educated that it abolished slavery. But there’s a very big “except”. It was partially added to help sway the Confederate states to make them happy that they can keep slaves if they find enough things to arrest them for.
It’s part of why Jim Crow laws happened. And it’s exactly why America has the highest amount of people in jail than any other nation. Slaves are cheap labor.
They’ll choose suffering. They love Trump, its why they didn’t arrest him. He doesn’t hurt the bottom line, just the poors, browns, and queers.
