   Next time a white person (especially a white guy) tries to harass you about voting: ask them if they successfully converted 20 other white men first.

   Because THEY ARE THE Problem. Like the Origination of the Problem since this country was created.

     Electoral work doesn't end. It starts in your community and requires deep building. Not passing out flyers people will throw in garbage in two weeks.

     Not donating half a million dollars to endorsers of cryptocurrency and genocide.

     But getting to know the people in your neighborhood so you can fight book bans, fight for bike lanes, fight for a safer space that *escalates* into better representatives that are actually accountable to the community *and* knows the people to some pedigree.

     Representatives who exist solely because they say shit you like is why things like stop and frisk, the Patriot Act and all of this violence happened: folks weren't concerned about politics but with presentation.

     I will always be a drop for many reasons (localized state violence that keeps population counts low due to poverty, lack of resources, etc) so blaming me for something I can't even control (like closed party voting in a Republican controlled state) is the most respectable way to tell me "do what I say" with a very hard R.
