Thank you for this comment. The work we need to do in order to effect change extends far beyond the ballot box, but strategic thinking at the ballot box is an extremely important step.

Voting dem in 2024, to me, is a lot like tying a tourniquet on someone with a gaping wound. You sure wish you weren't in a position where you had to do it, and the work isn't over once it's been tied, but it's a hell of a lot better than saying "I don't believe in tourniquets" and letting the person bleed out. Sorry, I know that's not the best analogy, but I'm too exhausted to workshop it anymore at this point.

Also, thank you @auk@slrpnk.net for fixing up the code and deletion issue.
