Absolutely begging my otherwise sensible fellow leftists to stop dismissing anyone who engages with voting and elections as a Stupid Liberal. Voting for someone as a leftist doesn't mean I agree with them, it means I'd rather fight against their bullshit than the even worse bullshit of whoever the other options are. It's a harm reduction tactic to avoid making our own fight harder than it needs to be.
Refusing to vote for "the lesser evil" because of your own reactionary purity politics actively erodes what remains of a political left wing while allowing even greater harm to come to those most vulnerable in our society. Refusing to acknowledge there are objective and concrete differences between political parties and dubbing them "all as bad as each other" actively ignores the direct and immediate danger specific policy differences can have for poc, trans people, disabled people, poor people, homeless people, and otherwise marginalised folks.
Electoral politics is not the battleground where we will win the fight against capitalist oppression, but the people are also not about to pick up their pitchforks and storm parliament tomorrow. This fight will take years if not decades, and I would rather spend that time fighting progressives and liberals than conservatives and right-wingers.

Danika is at risk for medical reasons having been diagnosed with Canine Infectious Respiratory Disease Complex, which is contagious to other dogs and requires treatment with antibiotics for around 14 days. We suggest that Danika would be best suited to an experienced dog home. Danika playing with Rex #32540 https://youtu.be/XKCE6Uvn2YU Danika #32109 @Manhattan ACC Sex: Female Age: 4 years old Is Vaccinated: Yes Primary Color: Brown Brindle Secondary Color: White Weight: 53.2 lbs.

All of the dogs had bite wounds, both old and new, leading us to believe the dogs had been fighting. Date of assessment:: 6/28/2018 Look:: 1. Dog's eyes are averted, with tail wagging and ears back. Allows head to be held loosely in Assessor's cupped hands. Sensitivity:: 1. Dog leans into the Assessor, eyes soft or squinty, soft and loose body, open mouth. Tag:: 1. Dog assumes play position and joins the game. Or dog indicates play with huffing, soft 'popping' of the body, etc. Dog might jump on Assessor once play begins. Paw squeeze 1:: 2.

She jumped up several times during her assessment, allowed all handling, was social, and displayed no concerning behaviors. Date of intake:: 6/27/2018 Summary:: Danika had a loose body and allowed handling. ENERGY LEVEL:: We have no history on Daika so we cannot be certain of her behavior in a home environment. However, she is a young, enthusiastic, social dog who will need daily mental and physical activity to keep him engaged and exercised. We recommend long-lasting chews, food puzzles, and hide-and-seek games, in additional to physical exercise, to positively direct her energy and enthusiasm. BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION:: EXPERIENCE (suitable for an adopter with some previous dog experience, especially with the behaviors outlined below) Behavior Asilomar: TM - Treatable-Manageable Potential challenges: : Basic manners/poor impulse control,On-leash reactivity/barrier frustration Potential challenges comments:: Basic manners/poor impulse control: Danika jumps up on people in a social manner. It is recommended that default behaviors such as "Leave it", "Sit/Stay", "Down" are reinforced to substitute any frustration and teach her to control her impulses instead of simply reacting; proper management is also advised. Force-free, reward based training only is recommended. On-leash reactivity/barrier frustration: At the care center, Danika has been observed to react to other dogs on leash, lunging towards them, barking and growling. Danika may need positive reinforcement, reward based training to teach her to look at you rather than other dogs. We recommend a front clip harness or head halter to help manage this behavior.
