A vote for Donald Trump is a vote for school shootings and measles
An editorial from The Verge arguing that a vote for Donald Trump is a vote against solving America's 'collective action problems' such as gun violence, public health crises like measles, and tech regulation. The author posits that Trump's self-interest and the MAGA movement's ideology prevent them from acknowledging or addressing these issues, contrasting this with Kamala Harris's collaborative, problem-solving approach. The piece frames the election as a choice between a functional democracy that can tackle complex societal challenges and an authoritarianism that ignores them.
Note
this essay didn't deserve that title, but i understand it given the passion espoused in the article.
the analogies used (mostly tech, software related) are surprising until you realize this was an article posted on the verge, by the editor.
cementing the article into a fight for collective action feels insightful. it is under attack, it is losing and given the outcomes, it has mostly lost (for now).
how does a society reconcile this going forward? we are finding out, and it doesn't look easy.
