This year we have seen many defining elections all over the world. On November 5th, it is time for one of the most powerful countries in the world - the USA - to go to the polls. It is probably impossible to overestimate the consequences this specific election will have for the world and for the future of humanity. There is no doubt that one of the candidates - Trump - is way more dangerous than the other. But no matter if Trump or Harris wins, the USA - a country built on stolen land and genocide on indigenous people - will still be an imperialist, hyper-capitalist world power that will ultimately continue to lead the world further into a racist, unequal world with an ever increasingly escalating climate- and environmental emergency. With this in mind, my main message to Americans is to remember that you cannot only settle for the least worst option. Democracy is not only every four years on election day, but also every hour of every day in between. You cannot think you have done “enough” only by voting, especially when both those candidates have blood on their hands. (alt text continues in next image)
