ROTT PEROS!

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.

This is what happens when you overthink the simple act of voting, when you navel gaze for days and months any simple physical effort that requires your presence with intent. You distort what it is and how it works.

A vote nudges things towards a direction, it is NOT a magic political wand that fixes things overnight. Inertia builds up only with several election cycles of consistency.

One side is cruel and will constantly sabotage good faith whether in or out of majority power. “Good faith is for suckers” is their goddamned motto, just one in a ton of toxic ideas and knee-jerk anger and greedy gluttony. Television and internet has amplified these virulent tendencies.

Whoever decided to not vote is in a muddy mental hole and has participated through inaction in making things much worse and perilous for millions of vulnerable living beings.

I have lost my faith in the younger generations, they cannot cut through the bullshit, are actively being bombarded in bad faith messaging, and it fucking worked.

Good luck in weeding out fascists and bigots from your society now. Especially in the judicial branch, you get to keep those for life. You have stabbed yourself in the chest with a rusty knife and call it “purity”, you imbeciles.

IDS (Imminent Death Syndrome) puts us all in an awkward position.

5 year ban! How about at least 15 years? In case an outright lifetime ban is not permitted by law.

How about a threefer with

Reminds me of that Simon & Garfunkel lyric, along the lines of

…he’s so unhip
when you say Dylan
he thinks you’re talking about Dylan Thomas!
Whoever he was.

Old Man River. Old Man Hydra?

Talk about looking at the past with distorting rose-colored glasses!

For a second or three there, I read that as:

When I was a kid,
a priest told me about Mars

And what did the working class do this election?
They gave the keys to the kingdom to the con men, and that includes the twitter and amazon assholes.
That’ll fix things! That’ll show 'em!

I can’t deny that my heart sank when I saw that picture of AOC glaring at Manchin smiling smugly in the podium, right after the asshole blocked a bill that would have supported working class citizens.

I also can’t deny that in such an environment, change for the better can only be incremental, but that’s only when people vote, which includes at the very least midterms and presidentials, and which at best includes primaries, off-year and special elections.

But once you get that change that you wanted - or the one you didn’t want - it’ll take decades of elections to change it back.

The people have shown that republicans can do things like block SCOTUS candidates for months deliberately, or repeal Roe vs Wade, or lead insurrections, or sell out your allies to the kremlin, with NO FUCKING REPERCUSSIONS.

You think they’re gonna stop anytime soon now that they’ve tasted blood and it tastes sweet to their palate?

Because if it wasn’t Gaza, it would have been another excuse to not lift a lazy goddamned finger and still delude themselves into feeling "morally superior"while sitting on their fat mediocre asses at home.

Before Harris, they also leaned heavily on the “Sleepy Joe” bullshit and “two old white men up for election, who cares”. Once the old “Sleepy Joe” element was removed from the equation, they had to find a way to keep their goddamned stubbornly lazy and ignorant narrative intact.

Now that the election is over, most of these “concerned and outraged” deadweight assholes will never think about Gaza and the plight of its’ people again. And they will keep on feeling smug about themselves.

For a moment there, I thought the younger people of America had in them the capacity to do the obvious righteous thing, and to banish the demons once and for all.
The younger people of America have shown what they are made of, and never again will I overestimate them.
