just remembered that years I ago I mildly criticized Swalwell for his weak 'just vote!' response to the Kyle Rittenhouse acquittal (in an article for Bitch in my personal capacity) and was mildly reprimanded by my then-workplace for criticizing a Democrat who worked with us on voting rights lol
Screenshotted excerpt

On Twitter, congressman and former presidential candidate Eric Swalwell supported Biden’s statement and sought to offer a strategy to progress: “We have more peaceful marching to do. To where? Every ballot box across our land. Lace up.” He continued, “Be pissed about the laws/bias that led to Rittenhouse verdict. And we can partly blame the filibuster for allowing rigged legislatures to write those laws. BUT celebrate the progress YOUR vote helped make today. House Democrats passed Build Back Better to lower your major costs.” Like statements made by Biden and others, Swalwell’s remarks are presumably well-intentioned, but insultingly insufficient. Other would-be vigilantes will surely be emboldened by Rittenhouse’s acquittal. More peaceful marches will be met with more guns. Ballots have yet to block bullets. Dead people will not benefit from the Build Back Better bill, and mourners are not eager to celebrateScreenshotted excerpt, cont:

Encouragements to just vote harder effectively tell a grieving country that we can be saved by continuing to do something that hasn’t saved us yet—and is increasingly inaccessible. Even assuming it’s possible to outvote white supremacy, people first have to be able to vote. The Senate’s failure to lift archaic filibuster rules has allowed Senators representing a small minority of the country to block democracy reform legislation, leaving millions vulnerable to disenfranchisement. At least 19 states have enacted at least 33 laws so far this year that make it harder for people to vote. Rampant, racially discriminatory gerrymandering further dilutes the voting power of communities of color. And as a last-ditch effort to sabotage the democratic process, state legislatures have introduced at least 10 bills this year that would directly empower partisan officials to change or overturn election results. It cannot be that the way to fix a legal system that doesn’t work for us is by using an electoral system that also doesn’t work for us. If Congress is just going to tell us to vote, they must at minimum establish clear and enforceable national standards that would enable us to meaningfully do so.Screenshotted excerpt, cont:

Advising us to recommit ourselves to voting in the future also fails to take into account the present need for safety. We can’t wait until the next election; some of us will be dead by then. And voting alone is a poor recommendation when the officials we voted in have not fully protected us. The Kenosha County District Attorney who decided not to prosecute Officer Rusten Sheskey is a Democrat. The judge who oversaw the Rittenhouse trial was first appointed to the bench by a Democrat. The mayor of Kenosha and the governor of Wisconsin are both Democrats. At the federal level, Democrats hold the White House and have a slim majority in Congress. And though organized white-supremacist violence has finally been named as a clear and present danger by the likes of the Department of Homeland Security, it is still sanctioned—and even encouraged—by the state.Screenshotted excerpt, cont:

Disturbingly, Democrats’ colleagues across the aisle revel in this violence. Multiple Republicans in the House of Representatives have already offered Kyle Rittenhouse a congressional internship, a position for which his sole qualification appears to be his homicide acquittal. For Republicans, killing people at Black Lives Matter protests should be rewarded with proximity to federal lawmaking power. The danger white supremacy poses to disfavored groups—and to democracy itself—cannot be overstated. Feeble assurances about the system working and chipper reminders to vote send a clear message that political leaders are not treating this existential threat with sufficient seriousness. If we’re ever going to have solutions, we have to at least be honest with ourselves about the scope of the problems. Until then, while a court may have acquitted Rittenhouse, the whole damn system is guilty as hell.

Accountability is very important. Without it, the people who do bad things are just emboldened to do more bad things. You vote for a capitalist, and you'll never see accountability. If you vote for a capitalist from either party, all these criminals walk free. Divine justice is fake. It's up to us.
