Stella C 🇨🇦 M. Grégoire william.maggos One thing I've noticed about the Blue No Matter Who folks are y'all love to fire off sweeping generalizations and conclusions even in the face of directly contradictory evidence. Like, literally my most recent post on the Fediverse before the one you're reply to is me saying bad things about Trump!

These sexist gripes show how Trump is pure id of the petite-bourgoisie . . . the small business owners who think they should rule the world but find their slices of pie decreasing as capitalism inexorably centralizes are forever incensed, blaming and demeaning all the people that rightwing propaganda tells the rubes to hate (women, racial minorities, queers, the disabled, unions…)

@mpjgregoire @SCampbell @wjmaggos I'll chime in here too and say that I voted with my conscience and as the best use of my otherwise superfluous vote, rather than for a candidate who for example as AG decided my voting county's DA and Sherrif colluding to listen in on inmate conversations with lawyers was A-OK and not for her office to do anything about.

The idea that my vote ever imperiled Harris's ability to win California, or that objecting to kneejerk defense of flagrantly unconstitutional actions of law enforcement puts me on the same side as Trump, is not only ridiculous but also wildly undemocratic; what formal mechanism of voicing, much less change, is available to a citizen if even a pointed protest vote in the safest Democratic state in the entire country isn't allowable?

And my vote wasn't counted anyways, thanks to arriving ridiculously too late, arguably due to Biden's refusal to undo Trump's damage and leadership change of the USPS! Which also naturally does nothing to convince me I should have voted for him or his VP.
