I'm not asking for a perfect candidate, but when both candidates are committing atrocities -- concentration camps at the border, sending arms to a genocidal regime, hastening the death of our planet by protecting capitalism, using marginalized groups as pawns, dehumanizing homeless people, etc. -- it's not like there's any good candidate at all. What? We'll just harm fewer groups of people? Or different groups? You're still causing harm. That should not be remotely acceptable.
And yeah I'm involved locally, but so what? Do you think I only care about myself? Does that help the Palestinians, or the innocent people in those concentration camps? Does it help the people being tortured? I'd have to be completely self centered to only care about what happens locally, and I never see potential for meaningful change locally. What are they gonna do? Add another park bench or walking trail while people die in captivity? I'd kill myself to help, if it would do any good.
