"You" in this context, is reffering to over 200,000,000 individuals.

I don't mind the kids being force fed the Bible. At least they're getting something in their bellies.

What I don't understand is what harm is being reduced by doing "harm reduction"? I get maybe one or two election cycles the candidate isn't ideal but after decades of horrible candidates that increasingly become more right wing over time it seems that no real harm is being reduced. Working class people are are still starving under Biden and likely will under Kamala, simultaneously the Capitalist class continues to aquire obscene amounts of wealth. Meanwhile we're all supposed to go along with the idea that Neoliberalism is the only option while so called "radical leftists" (social democrats and social liberals) are too extreme for government. This election cycle we're offered a candidate that has promised to encourage fracking, likley will not offer any federal protections for women and other minorities, openly supports Israel, and is overall a spineless corrupt career politican that for some reason we're all supposed to nod our heads to and say "yup shes the face of the American left". If we keep doing "harm reduction" soon we will all be reduced to nothing.
