#just a personal vent here#i already saw an insta post saying now it's time for all of us to fight like hell#and i'm so tired of hearing it.#because how? how am i supposed to fight this?#i vote. i donate to pro-choice orgs. i have absolutely no power to decide the makeup of the supreme court.#and I'm so tired of hearing vote vote vote vote vote vote vote as if it fixes anything on a systemic scale#i believe in the power of voting to influence local and occasionally state elections. but on a national scale?#to be clear i always have voted and will continue to vote but#I'm sick of voting being propped up as the solution to everything when it does not impact the most intentionally corrupt and harmful parts#of the american government#'they want you to feel powerless don't let them win' ok well. i do feel powerless. show me where I have meaningful power that can actually#effect systemic change.#i know people talking about fighting have their hearts in the right place but i'm sick of being told that it's on me to change things#when there are some things i can't change#it shifts the blame off the system and onto individuals#happy to talk if anyone wants to I just had to get this out
