You Don't Get To Vote On Any Of Your Government's Most Consequential Actions

THE U.S. EMPIRE - FOLLOW THE MONEY
Caitlin Johnstone
YOU ARE GETTING THE SAME THING!
People who aren’t privileged enough to care who wins the U.S. election in November include:
* Palestinians, who will continue to be killed and oppressed by the state of Israel regardless of whether Trump or Harris wins.
* Ukrainians, who will continue to die in Washington’s proxy war with Russia regardless of whether Trump or Harris wins.
* Victims of U.S. warmongering around the world, who will suffer and die from acts of mass military violence inflicted upon them regardless of whether Trump or Harris wins.
* Victims of U.S. economic sanctions, who will continue to suffer and struggle because their government had the audacity to disobey Washington’s dictates regardless of whether Trump or Harris wins.
* Victims of U.S. imperialist extraction, who will continue to have their labor and resources siphoned away by wildly unjust and exploitative systems regardless of whether Trump or Harris wins.
* Homeless people in the United States, who will remain homeless regardless of whether Trump or Harris wins.
* America’s working poor, who will continue to struggle to make ends meet in a constant state of toil regardless of whether Trump or Harris wins.
* Victims of the U.S. policing and prison systems, who will remain abused and mistreated by those systems regardless of whether Trump or Harris wins.
The truth of the matter is that you simply don’t get to vote on any of the most consequential things your government does.
You don’t get to vote on whether wars, militarism and imperialism should continue.
