Voting for your own oppression is harmful to some of us. Voting for someone who abused others in a way that caused you trauma is harmful for some of us. I'm talking to my therapist about how voting for Biden will harm me for a long time to come. But for others, it's so much worse

Some people, being coerced into voting for that abuse, can cause a depression or anxiety spiral that threatens their life. It can cause PTSD to flare so badly that it causes them to be a danger to themselves.

I will vote for Biden. I will never blame other survivors who can't.

I will vote for the man and it will deepen my c-PTSD and make my it more harmful to me. I'm already talking it through with my therapist because I feel the horror of it weighing on my sleep and my mood regulation right now.

But I know for others, it's not even as safe as that.
