Yeah! Die like Americans!

Does KH & TW not changing stance on this issue not mean they are A-OK with full-fascist America then?

Yeah, it’s not like we are voting for dems because they slowly move the needle slightly more socially liberal… it’s because the damn sky is falling.

Gonna be scary if JD fucking Vance is in the white house next year…

My vote didn’t matter, but that paper got used… don’t really feel great about it, but I did my duty.

What is there to be hopeful about?

They gonna name it Sheriff?

Puzzle? This written from a cave they live in?

The inverter is a device that converts the DC power from the solar panel to the AC power that homes are wired for.

You responding to the wrong comment? Or just didn’t read what I wrote and made your own random comment under mine?

I think you are making a lot of good points here, but in a really, “I’m just a simple country farmer” sorta tone. We didn’t get here on accident. When I was young Obama ran for office and he is consistently still the youngest political figure we see doing anything. We have systemically leaned into old white men so hard in the last ten years that it feels like a joke.

The age of our politicians has begun to skyrocket. The AVERAGE senators should not be 64 years old, I don’t think a single American would argue it should be. But it is.

That assumes we educate gen beta, with no time, money, resources, or fucking example to go off. So yeah, don’t hold your breath that a magic future generation will both A understand the economic climate that professional economists struggle to explain, and B have a willingness to help poor people once you are in the “I’m so smart and handsome and God even loves me more than anyone poor” pipeline they shove you down.

“The poll found that 36% of respondents 18-29 agree that “political involvement rarely has any tangible results” – up from 22% who felt that way in 2018. Those who agree that “I don’t believe my vote will make a real difference” went to 42% in the current poll, an increase from 31% in 2018. And well more than half – 56% – believe that “politics today are no longer able to meet the challenges our country is facing,” up from 45% who felt that way in 2018.” https://www.usnews.com/news/politics/articles/2022-04-25/youth-losing-faith-in-politics-poll Took me two minutes on Google to see the MASSIVE difference between young people being disengaged in every political cycle and what is happening now.

While you have laid this all at the feet of change a generation has to deal with. I would argue that it is the complete lack of change that drives this. You can see the massive shift we are having where political power has only the use of enriching the individual. Senators gets bribes and we get a worse country, repeat. But the amount that younger generations have been invited into this inner circle of bribed law makers, rich people, and those tasked with penning the actual laws has swiftly moved to almost zero. You are not welcome in politics if you are young, and until you get older, jaded, and much more willing to take bribes at the cost of your convictions, we don’t need you.

The idea that gen z gives a shit at all is honestly astounding. Like imagine growing up, and your parents never had the power to do anything positive for the country. Your grandparents are running the family business, and no one is ready to take over when grandpa dies, because they didn’t want to prepare tge world to go on without them. They wanted tge world to crash and burn when they die so that everyone will know they were needed.

At least that is the perspective of someone who first voted for Obama and change. And all I got was dead brown people in the middle east at ever increasing rates.

Honestly as a left leaning American, it looks like the plan of massive non-white genocide that the old white people love is continuing swimmingly. And will probably continue to as long as tge only path for a young person to power is boot licking or nepotism.

Carful, you start looking at areas of our society that don’t make any sense as an economic vehicle, and you might start advocating for giving food to people who are hungry and houses to people on the street!

I bet a poll like this would have similar results every year I’ve been alive.

That second one. I’m pretty up for the complete distruction of our entire system of life, including the removal of currency. But I’m also against violence. That is why I just keep my head down and try to vote to power what I want. But obviously no political party in America is running on tge platform of, “let’s tear it all down” so tge democrats are usually as left as it gets. It’s just not very left anymore. (With a grain of salt for how actually center-right the dems are)

Yep, nothing he can do. President has no power pack it in.

courts make it so president can assasinate political rivals. Congress has a bill in the works within weeks to change that

Yep, nothing can be done. ಠ_ಠ

Thanks much! Spot on.

Honestly, I’m not sure if you are making a joke about how a monarchy can’t be democratic. Or if this is a comment about him legit “deserving” to be president more.

"Let’s talk about how Trump is the primary nominee, and he raped a woman and threatens everyone. "

Go for it, make another thread about how dumb it is to vote for Trump. You can do that. People do it all the time. We are talking about a different person in a different party.

“There’s literally no reason that Biden can’t be a good leader. He’s demonstrated it over the past few years. And it’s normal for the current president to be given a second shot.”

Not representing a majority in policy and having a super low approval rating isn’t a reason he can’t be a good leader? Is there any reason my neice can’t be a good leader? Also, it is not normal for the president to be this old. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_presidents_of_the_United_States_by_age The president should be between 45 years old and 65 years old.

“The only real objection most people could arguably make for Biden is regarding Israel”

This is a wild take. The only possible reason that is REAL is this one issue!

court takes away bodily autonomy from 51% of the population

government does nothing to pass a law to fix it after Biden campaigned on fixing it

“There is not a single reason anyone has to be mad at Biden!”

Bro.

CEOs are obsessed with value derived free of all that messy human labor. It would make sense if they didn’t still want the people they fired to pay money to talk to the robots.
