    For what it’s worth, the “housekeepers” mentioned in the data are mostly hotel workers. And they made big, and public, wage strides through union strikes. Not saying it’s bad or anything, just saying. But let’s say all that was completely wrong. Even on that weird, unreal hypothetical…that still gives zero fucking reasons to not vote for Biden in November. It’s why I don’t really like discussing this shit. When someone says they aren’t going to vote, or vote for trump, I’m just done. It’s the dumbest fucking thinking.

      Exactly. Waiting for elections to get things done isn’t going to do it. Every major movement in the US started with direct action and organization, and the votes came later when they couldn’t ignore the direct action anymore.
