If you are looking to help bail water, @[email protected] recommend Mobilize.us to find opportunities to get started. We are all in this boat together.

"Nothing matters don't try".... yeah

On the contrary, it all matters. Try like hell, go down kicking and screaming, vote for Biden if only to prevent more holes from being drilled, push for class consciousness and solidarity, get organized, get involved, and bail water like crazy.

Just don't mistake where you are in this image, and don't mistake the Dems for allies, they are at best a useful tool.

What organizing efforts are you actively involved in?

Besides complaining on the Internet?

I spend my available volunteer time assisting a local homeless shelter, and I donate roughly 3% of my income on supporting groups that I believe do good. Much less than I'd like, but I believe every bit helps.

Also I complain on the Internet.

That's nice.

It won't result in passing new laws, new executive actions, or a better judiciary though.

That's nice.

But according to the meme, citizens ain't boatwrights, they're bailers. Those things you mentioned would be more fixing the boat than bailing it.

You're not one of the people bailing water in this image.

People on this sub react to memes that criticize both parties without explicitly mentioning they still vote for Biden, the way that most Westerners react to somebody criticizing Israel without explicitly mentioning they condemn the October 7th attack.
