I cannot impress on young women enough, regardless of anything else about politics, having the ability to vote codified (and regular elections to vote in!!) is historically bananas abnormal, and only exists because of lots of hard work by lots of regular people. I'm not saying you have to like your lot or have some sort of jingoistic hard on while you skip to the ballet box, but like full on distrust ppl that want you to think voting is some loser sport only the hivemind do. the other option is, you know, like, serfdom. or other horrible shit lol. and you know fuck it, if you don't wanna vote, whatever not my business. but don't believe for a second that voting is the enshrined old school unquestioned institution that it isn't. like it super duper isn't. that doesn't mean it can't be improved, of course! but it's not the way a good chunk of powerful people would actually choose for us if they could decide. bezos already runs his amazon warehouses like a 13th century fief lord as far as he can he would love to do more of that actually. he's not restraining himself where he can out of the goodness of his heart like. he would reinvent the company store tomorrow. he would pay in Amazon bucks to buy Amazon goods yesterday. He would install an Amazon Tribunal head by Amazon Pope to resolve all conflicts and they would all resolve with King Bezos having divine power by virtue of the fact that he has power and you would just be fucked and bezos would love that actually. as an example.

From the October 31, 2024 article:
“In the one place in America where women still have a right to choose, you can vote any way you want. And no one will ever know,” Roberts says in the ad as a woman on screen meets up with her husband after casting her ballot for Harris.
The voter winks at a fellow female voter as her husband asks if she made the “right choice.”
Republicans have responded to the video with outrage, with some claiming that a wife lying about her vote is as bad as an affair.
“If I found out Emma was going to the voting booth and pulling the lever for Harris, that’s the same thing as having an affair,” Fox News host Jesse Watters said on air Wednesday in a clip highlighted by Mediaite.
Other GOP members including Charlie Kirk said the thought was “nauseating.”

Like. If you read “you can’t change your sex” but hear ‘your sex defines how you must live your life’ that’s a problem you need to deal with because male and female aren’t lifestyles
