A recent example: a New Mexico newborn has died after contracting Listeria through the unpasteurized milk consumed by their mom.

It’s the same thing over and over again. But we do have the vote now, and those who have voted for this administration bear the blood of many on their hands along with the warmongers.

Not voting is voting for the status quo. It's not a protest. It's not an announcement of your morals. It's a blank canvas for the people elected to project their self perception onto.

And he's right to do so.
