    “My purity is a precious delicate flower, I’m not going to soil it by voting for Democrats. Palestinians can take comfort in that!”

    “Why can’t my politicians mesmerize me every day? I don’t want no competent government nerds in Washington, I need to be mesmerized every day to muster up the precious energy to go and vote!”

    I will never, EVER overestimate or respect the younger generations, who can vote and won’t. They have now shown themselves to be as ignorant stupid and heartless and fickle and impatient and lazy as medieval peasants.

    They are just as fucked up as their baby boomer parents or grandparents who gave Reagan and his cadre of assholes the keys to the kingdom.















  • I can’t deny that my heart sank when I saw that picture of AOC glaring at Manchin smiling smugly in the podium, right after the asshole blocked a bill that would have supported working class citizens.

    I also can’t deny that in such an environment, change for the better can only be incremental, but that’s only when people vote, which includes at the very least midterms and presidentials, and which at best includes primaries, off-year and special elections.

    But once you get that change that you wanted - or the one you didn’t want - it’ll take decades of elections to change it back.

    The people have shown that republicans can do things like block SCOTUS candidates for months deliberately, or repeal Roe vs Wade, or lead insurrections, or sell out your allies to the kremlin, with NO FUCKING REPERCUSSIONS.

    You think they’re gonna stop anytime soon now that they’ve tasted blood and it tastes sweet to their palate?
