Let me follow up with this.

What we do in the booth is what EVERYONE should do, which is *harm reduction* and NOTHING else.

It ain't Burger King, you don't get it your way.

If there is any difference AT ALL between the two candidates, you VOTE the one that does the least harm, period. That is […]

yeah, responding because I'm curious about all of this as well. I like to check out all of the social medias...and because I think Mastodon's the best model I'd love to figure this out.

(and as I have commented before, I harbor a lot of skepticism on the […]

@GhostOnTheHalfShell

Me and every other Black voter I know?

Not sure what you're fishing for here but --quite well, actually.

"Sits ATOP?"

That's facially one of the dumbest things I've ever heard.

He's a Black Man in AMERICA, fam. They're not letting him 'sit atop' anything.

And that's most of my point. He's threading a needle. I feel like in these conversations about politicians people never […]

Jefferies is (likely) between a rock and a hard place

The thing is folks, we presently have *no clue* how good Mamdani is at "the rest of the job"

One can be popular in one space and still be mostly a loser elsewhere, e.g. Bernie Sanders (who I voted FOR in the […]

This sounds deep but is saying literally nothing controversial; yes if you dont get elected you cant do things
