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.

"I'm not on the bus so let it crash"

Yeah I'm tired of people saying the better leader is the one who keeps pretending to drive off the road and might get back on track and away from the cliff if they get enough money and then fucking taking a shit ton of money from one person who tells them to drive closer to the cliff cause they find it fun when everyone else panics cause it lets them steal everyone's wallet.

We keep accepting garbage because "it's better than nothing" and then be happy cause only a few more million people are slipping into suffering rather than them. Status quo liberals are a shit stain on the Democratic party but the remains of the upper middle class still think it's neat.
