You can't reform poison by voting for it

What would happen if I let one drop of clean drinkable water fall into a bottle filled with poison? Would the whole bottle become drinkable water? Or would the drop of water mix with the poison and become poison?

What about if I let 15 drops of water fall into a barrel full of poison?

Would the barrel of poison become drinkable water? Or would the 15 drops of water become poison?

Because this is what is happening every time The People watch a progressive they know join the Democrat party. The people think, somehow, that their so-called progressive “friend” is going to clean the poison and making it drinkable.

And the people drink, willingly.

But their “friend” has become just one more drop of poison.

And personally, I already have a problem with anyone who runs for office no matter what party they say they stand for, or don’t stand for. The desire for power is poison in and of itself. They moment your “friend” announced their plan to run, they became compromised.

There is nothing about this empire that is going to defend you. Not your “progressive friends”, not your “progressive heroes”, not your “progressive politicians”. No one is coming to save you, especially a political party. You have to save yourself.

You’re not going to save yourself by voting for endless amounts of poison. Save yourself by dismantling the empire and giving the land back to the Indigenous peoples who are the rightful heirs and guardians of the land and the water you’re on.

We’re in mass extinction. There is no time for fantasies of saviors. Wake up and stop drinking poison.
