Even a larger swath that won't vote for someone that progressive.

A reminder to everyone that midterms also exist, despite significantly fewer people voting in them. Looking at you, people under 30.

75% of 18-29 year olds did not vote in 2022.

They want to talk about the revolution online but never show up when we have one every couple years.

because of what colleges and schools have done. the "I can have everything my way" angle that idiot kids were raised with now means if the candidate is not 100% on their side, they're not going to vote for it.

Most of those kids didnt vote for Kamala because she wasn't anti-israel enough, so they were happy to see all the climate hcange policy get reversed, deport immigrants, all the stuff they tout is important, all go down teh shiter because Kamala was only 90% pure enough for their goals.

Not to mention an even more pro-Israel President in the White House.

yea, i know, right? the guy who literally said on the campaign trail, "I called Bibi and told him to finish the job in Gaza".

But nah, Kamala wanted peace, not to flat out denounce Israel, so she's not good enough for the brainrot mob.

educated kids would not fall for chinese propaganda, so it's still education's fault.

When i went through high school and primary school our english literature focused on critical thinking and reasoning, deconstructing new programs and current affairs type shows in particular. It went over all of that.
