I& #39;mma need all my black and brown leftist/socialist/commies and anti-capitalist to take a deep sigh and be prepared NOT to vote for Biden. We can not continue down this path and continue to elect democrats who have been harmful to us. Here are a few ways we can do it:

First, is mutual aid. I& #39;ve seen many people post links of mutual aid but most don& #39;t know what that is or where to start. You can start here: https://twitter.com/bagmanman/status/1247998268363149315?s=20">https://twitter.com/bagmanman...
There are a lot of links people have shared of their work, and other orgs doing the same. As a collective there is more than one way and it& #39;s been shown electoral politics aint where it& #39;s at in 2020. So, go around that mountain and continue to build. https://twitter.com/COVIDReproFund/status/1248986146933297157?s=20">https://twitter.com/COVIDRepr...

Direct Action is another way; originated as a political activist term for economic and political acts in which the actors use their power (e.g. economic or physical) to directly reach certain goals of interest; voting for a specific law ex: legalizing weed/allowing felons to vote
I know, I know I said I was done with electoral politics for awhile, but this is an option for those that still want to participate and do direct change without pinning your hopes that a candidate picks up your platform and lobbies for it. You can do this state by state fyi.
Don& #39;t waste your energy doing the "lesser of two evils". Saying that you shows your ignorance and the evils people have to endure is never you our your community, so keep that shit to yourself. My communities are broken and have been left with defunct leadership for decades.
