archomrade,

I consider responding to that coverage with the voting qualifiers as essentially evading the question, because it reframes ‘something bad Biden is doing to lose support’ into ‘our personal obligation to vote for him regardless’ and is frequently accompanied by ‘if you say you won’t it’ll be your fault he loses’ instead of it being his fault for making the choive in the first place. It’s the reason anarchists are anti-electoralism; it neuters any actual organizing efforts by misdirecting it towards something that is effectively predetermined

It’s the atomization of the issue that moves the focus onto the individuality of voting, instead of a recognition that - in political systems- more force is needed if anything substantial will change.

Are they allowed to say that? Sure… just as much as anyone is allowed to say ‘genocide Joe will never get my vote’. And then you’ll respond to them, and there we go another time around the block.

And if I’m being 100% transparent, I don’t pay much attention to the threads where everyone is in agreement. I don’t have more to add if people are already in recognition of the problem; it’s when i see the deflection of blame onto protestors that i get worked up enough to jump in. maybe that has warped my perception, or maybe it’s warped by the hexbear threads I still have federation with that makes the denial over here so intolerable. I don’t know. All I know is that if the vibe I’m reading is true to reality, I don’t have much optimism for the outcome in November (no matter who wins)

I feel like all that time I’ve been practicing shading is starting to pay off.

Sitting atop a fractal surface of black holes, Tribert tries to make Adenine, one of the molecules in DNA, but he didn’t get it quite right, probably because he got distracted by the cats. Maybe next time, Tribert.

A quick portrait of one of the local pine martens.

I brought only two watercolour tubes with me, so can't do justice to its rich coat.

…This is a good time to remind everyone you know that fascists are typically elected by the democracies they destroy. If 2024 goes sideways, this could be the last time any of us vote in a real election. If you think that’s hyperbole, you haven’t been paying attention.

“They were asked to go to so-called ‘safe zones’ and by history, we know safe zones that are announced unilaterally are not safe. Civilians are protected under international humanitarian law; they should be safe everywhere and not in zones or specific zones.”

Voting for Biden means you have the freedom to vote for another president in 4 years.

Voting for Trump means you lose that very freedom.
