Every woman and every person of color has a responsibility to to dispel a cancer that permeates our society. The cancer will continue its metastasis if we continue to give it our consent.
Egberto, thanks for the context of your personal history. Very helpful. regarding the election, you wrote: "When women and people of color or any American of conscience vote for Donald Trump, they are complicit in a status quo that marginalizes many identities. Voting for VP Kamala Harris on November 5th will change that trajectory."
That's possible, but my hope is tempered by a long history of moral corruption in both major parties, crushing progressive candidates and actions at almost every step.
Further, essentially we have three choices: a red pro-genocide candidate, a blue pro-genocide candidate, and a green anti-genocide candidate. Universal healthcare, Medicare for All? There's the red anti-M4A candidate, the blue anti-M4 candidate, and a green pro-M4A candidate.
If you live in Texas, one of 43 non-swing states, and if you haven't yet voted, I urge you to cast a protest vote against pro-genocide moral monstrosities. That's for President. You can do this with a clear conscience because -- thanks to our corrupt electoral system --your vote for president won't affect the White House. In practical terms it won't matter.
On the other hand, I urge you to vote blue down the rest of our loooong ballot, because those races DO matter -- including (and especially) voting Dem for US Senate, in a longshot bid to get rid of Ted Cruz. Thank you.
