Hypothetically if there were two identical candidates with their only difference being that candidate #1 will enact abortion rights, I think voting for them is a valid form of harm reduction.

However just look at the track record of Kamala and the Dems. Just this campaign they have been willing to fund genocide, imprison immigrants, increase police funding and completely ignore climate change. They have no moral compass, the only guiding principle for them is whatever will earn them more money or votes. And abortion rights happens to earn them both a lot of donation money AND a lot of voters. They have no incentive to ever fight for it in the same way they will never fight for M4A or free college education. It is simply another tool to force large part of the working class to forever vote for them.

I personally won't label anyone who votes for her thinking they are fighting for abortion rights as an evil person, but for me it's just a completely useless act. Even if dems do act to protect them, they will 100% do it in a way that Republicans can easily re-ban next election.

With the risk of starting a struggle session, I don't think homeopathy is that bad. At least in my region it means "eat a lot of green stuff and maybe drink some tea" which is objectively healthier than what most people consume.

Granted there is a limit to it. You can't cure a brain tumour by scratching your armpits with a special tree leaf, but in general it can be a decent affordable treatment for very mild colds/diseases.

Even though BSP lost, it's ridiculous they even got so close.

Sofia is supposed to be the stronghold of the liberal parties and everyone was expecting a complete blowout, not a victory with 3000 votes margin
