    I was just about to ask what about all those non-voting assholes, so many of them… a whole handful of lost generations in there, generations that could’ve, but wouldn’t, bOtH pArTiEs ArE tHe SaMe LoL aMiRiTe or whatever.

    “Gimme what I want in one election cycle… as if you had a magic political wand… as if it’s easy to also simultaneously contend with a batshit crazy right-wing hellbent on obstruction and sabotage… or I’m gonna throw the whole thing down the toilet for myself and everyone around me and on down the line.”

    It may not be a coincidence that it also reads as:

    “Vote for a woman? When pigs fly!”

    What a mediocre batch of generations, throughout the decades. All mediocre seemingly in the exact boring same ways, in many respects. Y’all seem to be dead inside, out of boredom with yerselfs.

      “both parties are the same” is such a BS reason to not vote, we literally had a white old felon rapist on one side and a former prosecutor female with a spotless record on the other side and I still heard that exact reasoning several times from a number of kids at my HS who just turned 18.
      The one I did mange to convince to vote then voted for the felon.
