we need a party for the younger people at this point that would fight for living wages and universal healthcare for all

Bruh, younger people couldn’t even show up to vote for a Democrat primary candidate who was fighting for those things. If they can’t do that, they’re sure as hell not going to be able to make a party lmao. And I say that as someone who was one of the younger people in 2020 and voted for Sanders in the primary. Young people needed to get their shit together, and based on 2022, it looks like they finally are getting there.

Oh, and lowering prescription drug prices helps a lot of people who aren’t geriatric, you fucking ableist. It would’ve helped me save a thousand or so over the last few years, at least. And that’s not accounting for my surprise medical emergency early this year. If you aren’t going to get off your high horse, then get out.

You sound more like an agitator trying to sow resentment than someone who actually believes in liberal values.

There is a group that masquerades as “leftist” but they don’t actually believe in any leftist ideals. The only thing they care about is “Democrats bad”, and they want to see Democrats fail. Everything else is secondary. They’d rather see Trump win so they can say “I told you so” instead of seeing things get even a little bit better.

50% is incredibly good for Democrats. Boomers and Gen X are about 50/50. Millennials are skewed left, as are Gen Z. And millennials are in their late 20s-30s. They’re a more reliable voting bloc now.

Can you guys at least get some new material? You say the same thing over and over and over again.

A good friend of mine was home schooled, but they did high school in the public school system. Which probably is what made the big difference in how they’re a well adjusted person.

And now you’ve graduated to someone who says the vast majority are idiots who can’t see the truth and don’t connect the dots.

Now you’re not only someone who’s incapable of thinking about anything other than America, you’re also a conspiracy nut.

True. It’s up to us elders though to remind them to think straight.

Why the fuck do you have to make this about the US? Are you incapable of commenting on atrocities in other countries without a US centric worldview?

It’s quite an irony, isn’t it? In trying to constantly bring up US problems, you’ve adopted a worldview where only the US matters.

I remember my health teacher had mentioned this actually. She was a cross country coach I think and she used pads for a guy’s bleeding leg. Something like that, at least
