FAQ

Q: why not organize and stop treating the bus as a legitimate entity? why aren’t you working to stop the bus?

A: do both. cut the fuel line. break windows. put oatmeal in the gas tank. but maybe your efforts don’t succeed this election cycle. and if so don’t fucking throw away your vote if it can help your neighbors fucking survive. “harm reduction” is not a political strategy for action. it is a last minute, end of the line decision to save lives, after all other resources have been exhausted.

*brake

Also:

cut the fuel line

You might want to brush up on your mechanics knowledge. Cutting a fuel line will kill an engine fast.

And I never said not to vote. This idea that anyone trying to criticise the system is saying not to vote is a strawman. I literally said:

The only reason to vote for the less-immediate cliff driver is to give you more time to stop the bus.
