DharmaWalker<p>It's disheartening to see that we still don't have any presidential candidates who truly represent the values of abolitionist veganism—a commitment to ending the exploitation of *all* sentient beings. For me, being vegan isn't just a dietary choice; it's a call to uphold justice, equality, and rights for all living beings, regardless of species. It's about standing up against all forms of oppression and recognizing that every sentient creature has a right to live free from harm. </p><p>When I look at this ballot, it saddens me that none of the candidates truly embody these values. Veganism isn't just about what we eat—it's a larger moral framework that includes compassion, empathy, and justice for all beings. When will we see leaders who share this vision and take action not just for humans, but for every life that shares this planet?</p><p><a href="https://veganism.social/tags/Vegan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Vegan</span></a> <a href="https://veganism.social/tags/AbolitionistVegan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AbolitionistVegan</span></a> <a href="https://veganism.social/tags/AnimalRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AnimalRights</span></a> <a href="https://veganism.social/tags/CompassionForAll" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CompassionForAll</span></a> <a href="https://veganism.social/tags/VoteForChange" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VoteForChange</span></a></p>
