(Aka not harm reduction)
harm reduction is making entire left political tendencies illegal
Voting isn't harm reduction. It doesn't directly contribute to any actual change to our material conditions. Actual harm reduction is going out and participating in direct action.
It's so bizarre to see people who ostensibly organize around their opposition to the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie assume that the presidency of this bourgeois state is relevant in its actual governance, particularly when the two options are Joe Biden and Donald Trump. The bourgeoisie get their way whether a Democrat or a Republican is at the head and the bourgeois are getting everything that they want now. The deportations, the corruption, the violence, the imperialism, and the austerity are here and they are not going away. Only the aesthetic is different, but even that cannot return to what it was.
Except in this analogy, locking up drug users is pretty clearly the worse option. Do you think Biden is worse than Trump?
When you come across r/im14andthisisdeep posts, I find it's easier not to engage.
