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.

you are making a conscious choice towards fascism.

It's fun to watch people write paragraphs of shit acting like they've got a point and then say something this objectively stupid because they don't actually know what they're on about.

I live in California, if I chose to not vote I'm making a conscious choice to support Biden, as that is who my states electoral votes are going to. If I chose to vote for any third party it's the same outcome. Only if I explicitly vote for Trump (or another potential fascist) am I actually supporting fascism

But what if too many of you Californians think that and Biden loses?!

I can assure you that's not happening here, though I've seen so many people online try to fear monger that it might. If t actually were a threat I'd get in lock-step for Biden to prevent fascism, but it's not so I won't.

if enough Californians opposed genocide to make it so that Biden didn't get the California electoral votes, imagine the impact. seriously. it would be unprecedented.
