All they do is ask for donations. They don't try to tell you what great policy they have, they just expect me to fork over cash. I hate how little American elections care about policy. I hate how the dems feel like they are owed my vote.

I voted for Obama because I was an idiot kid that thought he might be serious about prosecuting the guy that tear gassed my friends and I for protesting the Iraq war and that betrayal was the day all my hope in "harm reduction" died a necessary death. I don't even remember if I voted at all in 2016, I think I was almost convinced to vote against Trump just because of how cartoonishly evil his platform was but if I did it was not enthusiastically.
There is no use in voting in US elections often even at the local level. I helped elect two DSA candidates to my local city council and they both got recalled because real estate ghouls in California spent more dollars than there are people in my city on a successful recall campaign because they didn't want to throw unhoused people into a wood chipper.
Fuck this country and fuck anyone that demands I vote for anyone in either of these parties we are told are our only options. I am voting for PSL just as a fuck you to all the liberals that try to brow beat me into voting for one or the other genocidal candidate.
