“I don’t really want to vote anymore,” Byers added. “I’m really starting to just think it just won’t matter… I don’t want to feel responsible for taking a vote and feeling misled, or misjudged, or making a wrong move.”

Democrats suck but that’s disappointing to read. You have to dig the country out from under the Nazis by whatever means you have available. Then you can get on with actual political action.

Not even just among young folks and not even just about voting, millennials and Gen Z I know are pretty much completely out of hope and giving up that the future can change. Willing to just quietly ride out the horrors out into oblivion
All we need is for a handful of people to decide they’d rather shoot up a board meeting than a school. I don’t think that’s out of reach
I watched some documentaries about Earth Liberation Front, and feel like something similar is coming. But instead of saving environment, it would be about saving privacy and democracy. And it will end the same. Immediate recognition as domestic terrorists by the government and huge investigation to destroy the movement. Saving humanity is crime that has to be immediately stopped. And anything that supports corporations is sacred, even pedophilia.

Legit kinda surprised this hasnt happened more often, especially after Mr. Mangione ALLEGIDLY did the thing he’s accused of, I know there have been a few that were quickly covered up but not on the scale of the school shootings we’ve seen
I’ve been saying for over a decade that I can’t believe more healthcare companies haven’t been targeted in that fashion. A ton of people get murdered every year and a ton of people face potential death due to healthcare being prohibitively expensive. How is there not more people both willing to murder someone and angry at healthcare companies in one form or another? It seems like an inevitable outcome of the system we’ve built.
Jesus now that I’m thinking about it, Denzel Washington was in a movie about doing similar shit in like 2004, how has this not been the thing that took root in the minds of Americas young men.
I was actually thinking about that movie as I typed my last response haha. John Q, I believe. I remember it as a decent movie at least.
I remember being a pretentious film minor and turning my nose up at it as heavy handed. Watched it again in like ‘11 I think. Actually a really good play on the heist movie with a real world point. And Denzel cooks like he always do
Because back then, no could fathom anything that fantastical taking place in reality
Im kind of one of them. Makes my posts sound hippocritical… I just think a real change is a monumental task that won’t come from utilizing the system that exists. Like the problems go deep to the port it’s like the hard drive needs to be reformatted and better OS installed.
young conservative voters dont vote that much as well as young dem voters, its all older voters than GEN-Z

Good. Don’t vote. If you were so stupid/racist/sexist/oblivious to history as to vote for Trump in 2024 you should not be voting at all.

Trump and the Republicans (who only exist as his personal ball-washers to sanewash and rubberstamp everything he does; they are indistinguishable at this point) documented all the policies they were going to pursue in the Project 2025 policy document, which was readily available to read before the election. You were warned about this loudly and repeatedly.

Trump’s behavior is also a known quantity. I suspect you did not magically appear on Earth to vote for him in 2024 having never experienced the reality of his first term, so you also should have had the benefit of knowing what he is like.

You therefore knew (or should have known) what he was like and what he wanted to do. If you knew, congratulations on getting exactly what you voted for. If not, you’re a low-information voter. You shouldn’t be voting at all because you are, at best, blindly picking a choice that everyone else has to live with too. So stay home. Don’t vote. Then at least nobody else has to suffer with the consequences of your ignorance.

Exactly. If you voted for Trump, expecting that he was going to be anything different than he was his first term, then fuck you.
