    There is a nuance to make here.

    Children staying at home longer isn’t a bad thing per say. Most of the world is like that.

    Children staying at home because they have no choice is a big issue, because it was possible before.

    the system works exactly as it’s supposed to, which is why it must be destroyed.

    Nah, it’s working EXACTLY as intended. It’s intended to make the rich richer and the poor poorer

      Yeah this is way beyond voting. Even in the context of just voting, it’s often necessary to vote for a lesser evil. Case in point, all the “Kamala didn’t earn my vote!” dipshits who handed Trump the presidency on a silver platter.

      You gotta make strategic choices with voting, and sometimes that kinda sucks.

      So do that. But also break out the guillotines when the people you voted for start behaving maliciously. That’s what we’re failing, and that’s why things have gone so far shit.

          From the voting angle? Yeah I’m as tired of picking the 2nd worst candidate as anyone else. When I push for voter turnout and encourage folks to vote for the least evil option that has a realistic shot of winning, it isn’t with any expectation that things will improve as a result of that person’s policies, it’s to pull the parachute on our freefall into human rights violations, locally and abroad.

          From the guillotine angle? ‘They’ don’t have us in jack, we just don’t have a spine. We could turn this shit around practically overnight, but no one (self included - I’ll own my share of the blame here) wants to get their hands dirty.

      1. At this point I may as well stay and make sure they don’t kill themselves by being old.

      They sure make the attempt.
