Note to my Bush-voting US friends:
I don't think you're liars and murderers. I do think you voted for one,
and I'm pretty unapologetic about thinking that, but I think most of you
voted for him out of a desire to see a safer world, and a belief that your
vote was going to make a positive difference. I disagree with your
conclusion, and I wish you hadn't voted for him, but I respect your right
to make those decisions for yourself. I will spend the rest of my days
trying to help undo what this awful president has done, and one of the
things I'm angriest about is that he deceived some really good people into
getting behind his evil.
I will say it here, and I will say it on alt.poly when I get a chance -- I
don't want a world where only liberals are allowed to vote. I don't want
a world where all conservatives are called liars and murderers. And I
sure as hell don't want a world where those who perceive themselves to be
in the majority (like, say, liberals on alt.poly) use their majority as a
reason for doing away with the minority. Fuck that. We're liberals. We
stand up for the underdog, we don't trample her underfoot.
Grow up and get a sense of perspective, will ya?
