at the heart of the abstention debate there's a philosophical question - what we're *doing* when we vote?
positively affirming a person/party OR deciding which of the options will have the best consequences

I find it really incredible that the concept of “vote blue no matter who” is so hard for some to grasp. It doesn’t mean “all Democrats are good.” It means “vote for the Democrat against the Republican.”
In their November races, Fetterman, Masto, Platner, Booker, Newsom are the correct choices

No, let’s say the quiet part out loud:
Vote Blue, No Matter Who itself has been a failure of a test. Very clearly, we need to better evaluate politicians we’re supporting blindly.
John Fetterman, Graham Platner & his tattoo, Catherine Cortez Masto, Corey Booker, GAVIN NEWSOM?!?
Think! Critically!

Susan Collins raised more money from AIPAC donors last year than small donors.
When we asked her campaign spokesperson about it, he hung up.

Susan Collins Is Getting More Money From AIPAC Than Small Donors
As oysterman Graham Platner handily outraises Republican Susan Collins, the pro-Israel lobby collected nearly 20% of her donations for her.

I like the word "fuck" and I'm all for using it when the situation calls for it, but I also like the words "impeach" and "hold accountable."
And I realize we don't have the majority necessary to impeach, but do we not say words anymore because we don't have the majority? SAY WORDS.
