The botched translation of Zero-Wing seen here spawned perhaps one of the most famous memes of the early Internet: "all your base are belong to us".

Goodness fuck that was like more than 10 years ago

I have very strong opinions, but I can’t in good conscience vote in a zero-sum manner. It’s easy to lionize leaders who accomplish huge changes, but behind the scenes there are thousands of people fighting for incremental change.

I vote to support those people as much as I vote for the headliner.

This is the kind of unhinged radicalism that I hate. AOC was among the very first politicians to call for a ceasefire. When did she support a genocide? Explain it to me like I'm five.

It's either you suck it up, get them elected now and pressure them in office, or risk Fascism Ad Infinitum.

These picky bastards wouldn't have voted at all in 1940 knowing Franklin D. Roosevelt would have interned Japanese people anyway.

America's not swallowing anybody leftier than AOC.

A. Not true B. This stupid opinion helped get Trump elected, which hasn’t helped people in Gaza one bit, probably the opposite.

theres dozens of atrocities occurring, right now, and theyre all complex with significant history and propaganda to wade through. regular people only have so much time on this earth to engage with them and they're forced to waste their time with trivial critiques like yours giving cover for genocide

I agree, 100%! But we also need to have our nervous systems intact in order to keep fighting the good fight. No silence. No approval. Rising up is the only option, and we must have the strength to do it. So we must take care of ourselves. This is a marathon, not a sprint.

Away down South in the land of traitors
