    Whatever gets you through the night, buddy.

    I think we can maybe build a better society by electing better representatives to office, but if you want to read that hope for a solution as some personal attack against “minorities” (which I’m apparently not anymore), then you’re just one less person trying to actually fix all this.

    Maybe raging against strangers on the internet and turning people away from you will make things better. 🤷

      I’m not your “buddy”. I’m a transgender woman.

      Abstaining from voting is not “electing better representatives”, especially not when one guy is Donald John Trump.

      I do have hope for a solution. I just don’t see how any good will come from treating the solution like a zero sum game where comprimiste is tantamount to defeat. Nothing good has ever come from that mentality.

      Letting the pedophile dictator with a lifetime of ties to corrupt powerful men the world over, become leader of the most wealthy nation state the world has ever seen, with less guardrails and more radicalized sycophants and loyalists, with the hopes it will spark a revolution, that succeeds, and ends with a coalition of left leaning leadership, reforming our country à la Nordic democratic socialism…

      … is inevitable?

      Oh and also, I’m calm. Stop projecting your frustration onto me.

        I think the issue is youre more upset at the people with little to no power not voting rather than our leaders over decades creating this outcome. People with power have created the country we live in today regardless if they were blue or red.

        We had no choice in Kamala being the candidate, and she was an utter disaster. You should be more mad about a lack of a primary than non voters. Its the candidates responsibility to get people to vote for them and the outcome solely falls on their shoulders. No one but Kamala and the Democrat leaders are to blame for low voter turn out, if they wanted more votes they should have had more popular policies. Its obvious genocide isn’t popular yet they made the choice to support it, thats on them, not a nobody you couldn’t even name staying home because they didn’t like either option.

        Your choosing to blame and fight with people similar to you with little to no power rather than blaming and fighting those with power who created the situation we are in. Your anger is misplaced and that’s an issue.
