no matter the outcome of this election: organize, build local community, build strength in masses. elections aren't the only time politics happen, it also happens on the streets, in the community and by mutually supporting each other.
the way forward is together. we build power from the ground up. in the US and everywhere else in the world.
a better world is possible and we can start building it now, by ourselves. anarchism starts in the now.

But I don't live in a swing state?!
every 4 years I see people talking about how they live in a red state (or more rarely a blue state) so their vote doesn't matter and I just want to briefly point out that I think nearly every state is either a swing state for the Presidential election, having a key Senate Race that will decide control of the Senate, has one or more key House races that'll decide control of the House, or is having an important Governor's race that'll could flip control of the state

there are lots of local and state level races that are very important to, but my point was basically odds are very very good, you live somewhere where your vote will help decide what America looks like in 2025. Don't get tricked into thinking just because your state isn't one of the ones always mentioned in the news as a swing state that it doesn't matter what you do
And even if your state is not in any of those lists, and there is really and truly not a chance that it will go blue in any way in this election at any level, your vote still matters! Leaving aside local races (and your school board, sheriff, police chief, county commissioner, mayor, and other local offices have a huge impact on your community), your vote will change things in the 2026 and 2028 elections.
A district where the Democrat gets only 30% of the vote is very different from a district where the Democrat gets only 40% of the vote. In both cases they lose (unless the conservative votes are split). But! If the Democrat gets 30% of the vote, the Republicans know that next election cycle that district is safe. They don't need to put much money or effort in getting their guy elected, they could put up an inanimate object and it would probably win the race. So they can take all their money and put it into races that are competitive. Races that could go either way.
But if the Democrat gets 40% of the vote, that changes the calculus. Maybe it's still a safe district! ... but maybe it's trending purple-to-blue. If they want to keep it safe, they gotta pour resources into it. Which means they have fewer resources to spend on the swing states, which means that Democrats elsewhere have a greater chance of being re-elected.
Also, consider it from the Democrat perspective. If the Democrat gets 30% of the vote, they're not going to support the next candidate very well. They're going to use their resources elsewhere, and the chances of your district flipping or getting competitive are vanishingly small.
But if the Democrat gets 40% of the vote, then it's worth it to pay more attention to the local races, see if they can influence things and build up a voting base and flip the district.
Politics is a long game. You're not just voting to get someone elected this term. You're also voting to try and set things up so that things are possible further on down the line.
There's always going to be a next election (unless fascism wins). It's a tournament or a season of play, not a single game. Even if you don't win this time, you can set things up to put you in a better position next time.
Also, don't forget about ballot initiatives!
Missouri might be in a blood-red Republican headlock when it comes to office holders, but a constitutional amendment to restore abortion rights is on the ballot, too.
Florida also has an abortion access initiative, and in addition, you've got Amendment 3 up, which will legalize marijuana use and possession.
Ohio has a chance to change the way legislative districts are drawn, hitting back at gerrymandering.
Voting directly on issues is the purest expression of democracy, and one way even people in heavily suppressed states can get good policies around their shitty legislatures.
Also the "I didn't vote group" is the largest voting group by far.
Texas for example, if every Texan voted, would very likely be a purple/blue state but a lack of engagement (and aggressive voter suppression) makes it red.
The right engagement can push any state Blue or Red.

This is the thing with the "I won't vote for Harris" supposed leftists.
None of them will tell you how allowing Trump to be elected helps.
Because they don't have an answer.
Because they don't really care about anything other than how they personally feel.
Actual leftism involves making pragmatic moves. The public will for revolution doesn't exist, and we live in a two party system. If you want to fight that system, great. There are things like ranked choice voting and the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact we need to be fighting for. But those are fights that have to happen year round, at the state level, and not just in an election year.
And in the meanwhile, you vote defensively and strategically, in an attempt to save as many people as possible.
Saying you aren't voting for Harris isn't taking a stand against genocide. It's putting your head in the sand and admitting you care more about your own comfort than making a difference in the world.
Why aren't you getting involved in your local politics? Why aren't you running leftist candidates at a local level, so you can move them up in the system and eventually move the political discussion left. You want to know why politics have moved right? It's because the right wing has been doing that for decades.
Your refusal to participate won't save a single life.
It only means you're abandoning everyone else.
