The only issue I have is the last part. Don't wait four years to talk about whatever the issues are, you have representatives even in the outgoing administration and congress right now to contact. By all means vote for the right people to make sure you can still do that after the election without fear of retaliation, but don't vote and then complain fours years later nothing was done if you haven't reached out during that time frame.
It really is surprisingly effective. So few people actually contact their legislators.
I set up a harassment campaign and got a few hundred people to contact a state legislator whose committee was holding up legalizing weed in my state and a few months later it was legalized. Agitate. Make a difference. Protesting doesn't do shit, get all the people there to call their representatives and senate members - especially for state and local stuff, and you might actually get something changed. Or even better, send a letter.
I set up a harassment campaign
AKA lobbying.
I mean, yes, but grass roots and I'm not paid lol
Yeah, this year the German government passed the law for decriminalization of weed, and it was almost blocked by our Federal Council if it weren't for thousands of community members harassing them on social media and via Fax (yes, Telefax is still used by our government 🤦)
I'm not posting a Snopes link or whatever, but it was Mussolini who allegedly got the trains running on time, and he didn't anyway. Improvements to the Italian rail system were begun under the previous government, and actually the trains weren't particularly punctual under his regime anyway.
What you have to do in the us: bitch for 3 years about all your problems, then shut up for a year so the party that wants to genocide you doesnt get elected, and then you can start your bitching about everyday problems again. Its very sad that these two things occupy the same space.
Two-party systems unfortunately always settle into this problem.
Definitely vote for Kamala now, but remember that real change begins at the local level - try to support policies and candidates who approve of ranked choice voting.
First of all, Trump is the most incompetent person to ever set foot in the white house. He couldn't make the trains run on time or he needed them to get away from a lawsuit. Second, Harris is going to be a great president if she is elected. Let's just hope she is.
Wait, Trump is promising to make the trains run on schedule too?
Is there anything he won't copy?
Fuck the trains. Let's talk about the genocide.
Right I'm sure people are refusing to vote Harris over trains and not literal genocide lol
Fuck that, let's talk about the trains in February. That's the problem....too many of us are petulant fucking children who keep waiting until the night before it's due to do our damned homework. Be better.
