Oh wait. You're doing it? Run for school board and let's see about your future and that of the nation.

You're mistaking me for someone who cannot see the obvious, baby milkshake. There's nothing I'm not facing up to except the fact that we are absolutely fucked because this devil clown got elected. And I think that's a problem about which you are strangely inattentive in your plainty priorities.End.

Then we're the same, kid. Now get out there and do something about it.

Why even argue with your crazy baby milkshake logic? This is stupid. Enjoy your symptom.

You want me to accept a reality in which everything any nation should care about and protect is being dismantled by the hour? I don't accept that reality, and I'm sad to see that this is the reality a milkshake takes no responsibility for because she sucked so bad you'd take a convicted felon.

She might have sucked. But not this much. Discernment is a thing. She isn't leading because you didn't vote. Now come and get your mans.

Trump is selling everything but a book, darling. You're sweet but bless. This is fascist destruction. Obviously the dems are drizzle. But there are choices between not voting and Hungary. You sound silly.

As an old musician friend of mine once said (in his 20s, mind you) to a baby milkshake who thought he had more punk cred than this actual amazing guitarist of skill and wisdom and experience of the world and its politics and suffering, with all the aplomb in the world: “son, I wrote your life.” pls.

Baby don't start. I love Zohran Mamdani. I bet he could tell you a few things about how voting works. Best believe if it came down to anyone and fucking Cuomo, and there were ONE other candidate, I'd vote against Cuomo. Get serious.

Ok, so in our shitlib limited builshit two-party system, we should save ourselves from dictatorship by voting for candidates like....? Please help me out with the pragmatics here. And the vision. Because the vista I got here in fachaland is pretty obscured.

Now we gotta care about this dirtbag dictator, lodged in the room of the infinite possibilities he has ousted. Purity is super, though, for the non-voters who don't give a shit.

I think daily about the mother of all simple-minded misguided virtueblast tweets from 2024. Don't recall whose active grey matter spun that wool, but it went like this: "I fear a second Trump presidency. I fear more a world that tolerates the war on Gaza." God help the noisy illogical twitliberal.
