• That was my first ever presidential election vote, I was so excited to see someone with legit interest in saving the environment, full of hope for a new future. I remember how giddy it felt to step into the booth.

      I lived in florida then, the entire state was thrown out by a legit conspiracy.

      And it’s jaded my vision of politics ever since.

        Yeah, it’s a big reason why I think civil disobedience is making a comeback.

        People are realizing the government doesn’t exist for them; it exists for the ruling class. That’s not how it should work and we don’t have to play by the rules they make for us.
