Sincere people in the US are saying 'if you didn't vote for Harris, you're responsible for #Trump'. I'm not in the US, of course. But I reject this. On both sides of the Atlantic, politics is so corrupted that it matters very little who you vote for. Your only choices are between different kinds of supine, corrupt, incompetence. An essay I wrote a year ago explains why.

When the system is broken, acting within the system can't help.
