My feelings on the upcoming election (not just presidential). We should vote for whoever will:
- Maximize our chances of restoring bodily autonomy for women.
- Maximize our capacity to celebrate and treat as equals every person. This is regardless of color, gender identity, sexual orientation, neurodivergence, or other way of being different in ways that don’t harm others.
- Maximize our chances of avoiding the impending climate apocalypse.
- Maximize the chances that every person within our borders has all their basic needs met without conditions.
- Maximize our capacity to welcome, include, and integrate any person who has something to contribute to our culture.
- Maximize our ability to move from punishment as a capitalistic system towards restorative justice writ large.
- Maximize our safety.
- Minimize our contribution to global human suffering.
Our economy is supremely powerful. It is time we harness some of the greed that got us here to do the bare minimum for our fellow humans who have been marginalized due to no fault of their own. In the long run we will become even more powerful. If we can’t get to this new stage of development, very likely our planet will become uninhabitable for us. Just a bit more cooperation and harmonization with our environment can go a long way towards alleviating the suffering of all our fellow sentient beings.
No big deal. Right? 😃
