Only available to vote for a week :P
Oh and here’s rex 💙🤍
Yo Biden just announced an infrastructure devolopment/clean energy/environmental justice plan and it's honesty pretty fucking amazing and much more ambitious than I ever would have expected from him, goddamn. He's trying to Eisenhower/New Deal our way out of the economic collapse.
Some notable points addressed by this plan:
Expanding American railway systems
Fixing the crumbling roads, bridges, dams, etc. that haven't been kept up
Capping abandoned oil wells
Undoing Trump's financial bailout policies for unclean energy companies
Reinvesting in American-made automotive companies
Getting America to 100% clean energy by 2035
Fixing air, water, and ground pollution issues that disproportionately affect poc
Getting justice for victims of environmental racism
Reinstating a bunch of environmental and medical jobs Trump had cut
Getting the US back on the Paris Agreement/Climate Accord
Yeh I feel like we can critique are candidates but it’s important we do it with accurate information!
It didn’t hit me until recently that people genuinely think Kamala Harris was a police officer because of all the people who call her a cop online.
Like I think maybe it’s important people should know she was a prosecutor. She was once a district attorney and later an attorney general for the state of California. And we can discuss how related that is to police work and how tied she is to the carceral system etc etc (but for fairness would have to include her record of pushing for lowering incarceration rates through programs helping former prisoners + her office refusing to jail folks for low level weed offense). But she was never a police officer. Like people should get that clear. Kamala Harris was never a police officer. She was a district attorney. She was never a police officer.
As a bitch with an inherently political identity imma be voting for Kamala Harris this election season.
Additionally 468 motherfucking house seats are up for elections so showing up for that is also helpful.
I understand how hopeless the political climate can feel, and how there have been systems put in place that prevent marginalized people from voting but I urge you try to get out and vote.
P.S. I’m very happy Biden dropped out as I felt genuine dread over the idea of voting for him. The fact that so many politicians are so genuinely shitty sucks and I understand feeling trapped and powerless like even if you vote it won’t do anything but please I think we should at least try.
