Part 4: [ Content Notice: References to anti-Black and anti-Indigenous violence, namely slavery, specifically mass incarceration. Discussions of politics, including the presidential election. Mentions of food. ] “I settle for fries and a burger when I have no energy to make pizza. I don't settle for presidents.” by Rosen T. Gordon (pronouns: zhe, zhir, and zhirs) Voting for Biden will not better our material conditions. I do not think he will win to begin. Even if, hypothetically, he won, he would continue to enact and promote policy that continues the degradation of Black people and peoples Indigenous to the Americas. He was an author of the Three-Strikes Bill, also known as the 1994 Crime Bill, which doubled the incarceration rate, a big reason so many Black people and people Indigenous to the Americas are incarcerated today (Eisen and Chettiar 2016). No, I will not accept his authorship of the bill as a “mistake” (United States Presidential Debate on October 22, 2020). You don’t accidentally enslave millions of people. You cannot apologize for slavery. [ Image Description: The Tuxedo Winnie the Pooh meme format is used.
