FAQ

Q: why not organize and stop treating the bus as a legitimate entity? why aren’t you working to stop the bus?

A: do both. cut the fuel line. break windows. put oatmeal in the gas tank. but maybe your efforts don’t succeed this election cycle. and if so don’t fucking throw away your vote if it can help your neighbors fucking survive. “harm reduction” is not a political strategy for action. it is a last minute, end of the line decision to save lives, after all other resources have been exhausted.

Also, fundamentally both left and right can make the argument the other side wants to run off a cliff.

Which is a great achievement by republicans. They're excellent at controlling the narrative and making it seam like the Biden admin is actually equally bad.

Disclaimer, I'm Dutch, so my view is an outside view;

I don't know if it's their achievement. It seems to me that in the USA you can choose for the conservatives who want to keep everything as it always was, including Russia as the bad guys and Israel as the ever lasting allie. Or you can chose for the conservatives who want to install a state religion and re-install segregation. The first group wants to be a global power with reach all over the world, the last group doesn't care for the rest of the world. With both groups the rich get richer.
