      No, I’m banking on the younger generations coming out of the woodwork. They’ve dealt with so much and really hoping they realize their vote could really send these dinosaurs into extinction.

        Taylor Swift seems to be doing a good job with that.

        Didn’t she get like 150k people to register in a day with an Instagram story or something

        I agree, I have some hope as common folk get more and more tuned in, especially as obscure runs like the Wisconsin Supreme Court judgeship and votes against the Ohio constitutional amendment process change result in overwhelming positive outcomes.

        Pessimism literally helps nobody, it just makes people more depressed and less likely to do anything about a bad situation. Don’t forget that last election had one of the highest young voter turnouts ever recorded, and was by far a huge swing to liberal. Since then the Republican party hasn’t even been close to as organised as they were during 2016 and 2020.

        Change can and will happen. It already is, albeit slowly and with bumps along the road, just like any progression in society.

          Yep. Seriously, keep the faith. And fight the good fight.
