    Agree or lose - demographic least likely to vote

    If we want to be taken seriously, we need to bring a serious amount of people to the game. We need some fucking Polish energy if we expect to bring this country around

      I mean TBF almost 50% of people aged 18-24 voted in 2020. If even 10% of those people don’t vote for Biden because he was complicit in genocide he’s fucked.

        The entire US is complicit. Tell me what have you done besides talk on the internet. I remember going to protests in the 90s, when there seemed to be a chance for peace. But the Israelis were lying about their intentions and they just had to wait for their little experiment to take effect and destroy all chances. I want this war to end but not with us engaging in the middle east ever again.

            Well these protests are happening around the world, the issue is they are being co-opted by extremists and facists. Every one wants immediate action but for different purposes. This issue is and will always be a landmine. I truly want a more progressive social democrat as my leader but the US is screwed as long as they have an electoral college that voted for the people.

      Love this comment. Young people have to save the world, as it has always been. Yet the powers that be do everything possible to discourage them from utilizing the incredible power that they have.

      Bit of a dead end for that energy now though. There were two bites at the apple wither Bernie Sanders, which illustrated the DNC will pill out stops to keep party loyals. So what’s left for a mobilized progressive movement? Cant fight in the party, cant fight outside the party.

        Bernie proved that the most vocal pussies online won’t actually show up when it matters. The DNC didn’t have to pull out any stops when single digits of eligible voters in the 18-29 group bothered to actually show up.

        Stop with the Bernie Sanders crocodile tears. Are you just going to ignore what HE says to do? Because I’m pretty sure he says vote against the orange reincarnation of Adolf.
