The people in the 80s were making the same arguments as you about the "short term". This inexorably led to genocides, climate apocalypse and abortion bans. Ergo, this "short-term thinking" is and has always been an abject failure. I claim that your approach is directly going to lead to more suffering for women and minorities and likely the death of billions from climate disasters.
To protect these people the answer is to ignore vote and go and do literally anything else for social change.
cite ur source that identifies these parallels and ill change my position. im not here to “defend short term thinking”, im here to defend the rights of human beings. so a subtle difference there.
Did US have abortion bans and was funding genocides back then? Are they doing those right now? Did people vote in the interim years? This is not nuclear science my guy. I can go back as much as you want and we can see how much progress was made through voting, or through activism, unions and making those in power scared shitless.
