The point of voting blue in 2018 isn\u2019t to make the US perfect. We cannot accomplish that in one fell swoop. There\u2019s gerrymandering, voter apathy, voter suppression, and generations of older party-line fucks we have to deal with.<\/p>\n

Voting blue in 2018 is to make it less<\/i> immediately <\/i>threatening for PoC, LGBT+ people, the disabled, and any other marginalized demographic. It\u2019s a stopgap against Republicans who are aligned with Nazis, white supremacists, and sexual abusers.<\/p>\n
