I want to preface this post by saying I'm not trying to paint the world as bleak and hopeless, this is just something that's been on my mind
With all the horrible things in the world right now, it's struck me just how much the people who've died are dead, and no matter what we do now there's no turning back the clock
That may sound obvious, but what I mean is that nothing we do will ever be able to make these wrongs right
Which ironically just makes it all the more important to fix things as soon as possible, both to prevent more irreversible damage, and also because if we can't do enough then we're obliged to at least do what we can
I know that none of us here are heads of state, or major politicians, or billionaires who bought a social media platform to avoid the FTC beating us into a fine paste for insider trading due to non disclosed shares of said company while driving up the price by saying we were thinking about buying it; so I get that there's a limit to what we can do and out governments are filled with dumb assholes who refuse to do anything to help (some seem to want to, but there's enough people blocking them a lot of the time)
So I don't... I don't have a direction here... I assume you're already doing what you can when you can, and keep it up. I don't know... it's just horrific how many people are suffering and how we'll never be able to take it back
That's what's on my mind with all this and... and it's very frustrating and I'm not even the one in danger with any of it
Keep trying to do better I suppose... and it's not something I have much hope for, but I guess vote in any upcoming elections, given that if there were less awful people in office maybe a few more decent things would get done
Like be a single ticket voter, take what's important to you and say "I only vote for people who support what I want supported"... and then vote for those people
I have no faith in it, but I think you gotta at least try it
(Bonus suggestion, think it's particularly hopeless but vote in the primaries cause that's your one chance to get a trash candidate off the ballot)
#I mean I very much am a single issue voter right now; you can bet I'm gonna be looking at people's history with how they've voted on it#I frankly encourage you to do the same; and I'm not gonna tell you what your issue you should do it with is either#you make your own choices; I just... I'd rather people vote for someone they think is gonna do the most like they'd want#rather than vote for no one#though also I'm American; I get it; they're both assholes; whichever thing you're voting for it's red of blue asshole#but still... some of them seem like they'll do a bit more to support shit I like and some are actively sabotaging it#like I'll straight up say I can't stand mike johnson in specific and if he was in my district I think I'd vote for a cannibal before him#so like... I'm not gonna tell you who to vote for; I'm just gonna say you might as well shoot your shot at it#cause if enough of us hopeless scum shoot our shot then technically the person we want gets elected#and the US is pretty corrupt but they generally put in the person who gets the most votes; electoral stuff aside#not saying it's a good system; just saying might as well use your options#by all means if you've got other stuff you're doing to make the world better keep at it#more to changing things than voting; but it certainly can't hurt#and once again; do it mail in if you can so you don't waste your time in lines
