On the ballot in 19 states totalling 220 electoral college votes.

Who wants to tell them you need 270 to win?

In case others need to hear this, please don’t vote third party. Even to start a revolution or whatever. It’s an incredibly privileged position to be able to endanger LGBTQ, immigrants, and women’s rights because you want to send a message. Vote Dem and back ranked choice or you may get the revolution the other way.

It's an incredibly privledged position to intentionally decide to sacrifice Palestinians and support a genocidal regime, one that is failing to assist the rights of queer people, women, and immigrants, and one that is failing to adequately address climate change, and is working towards World War 3.

back ranked choice

  1. Would not fix the problem that candidates are filtered and preselected
  2. Will never pass at meaningful numbers
  3. Neither party wants RCV

Mfw privilege means not having my homeland bombed, including medical facilities and schools: 😞

I'm so sorry to hear that, I truly am. One thing that gives me hope, however, is that the genocidal entity is in its death throes. The contradictions have never been sharper, the Israeli Tiger is made of paper.

If you are specifically interested in Palestinian liberation, and not the Middle East in general, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine released a book titled Strategy for the Liberation of Palestine in 1969, a strategy they adhere to to this day.

Oh, I'm in the USA. I'm sorry friend, I'm just waking up and wasn't clear with my words.

That looks decent, I'll add it to the list.

Back to the ME: It is incredibly sad that we North Americans don't recognize that despite under our unemployment, sleeping in cars, squatting or sleeping rough, we think we have no privilege. That's not including those who are well- homed, fed, clothed, employed, transported who feel they don't enjoy privilege.
