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.

My logic is what about vote and pry the bus apart? If you have the option to might as well go for it as part of the 'any means necessary', a tool is a tool.

I don't know why everytime I try to say that we should stop this bus half the passengers jump up and yell "BUT WHY WOULDN'T YOU VOTE".

I never said that. I said the vote is illegitimate and we need to stop the bus. I still vote.

stop the bus != don't vote
