This is the kind of thing that sounds like it can't be literally true, but it's literally true. The entitlement and arrogance of these people is staggering.

It's so frustrating to see folks lamenting just about any aspect of daily living, (economy, healthcare, groceries, etc.) correctly saying that we can and should do better, only to be met with denial, admonishment, and ridicule by conservatives and liberals alike.

It aint about age. People younger than me willfully refuse to wrap their heads around what’s going on because they’ve lived their whole lives as politically coddled, middle class liberals. Fixating on age means you’re just gonna keep electing the same sort of assholes who just take longer to die.

Isn’t this also mostly Bluesky?

However the ones I did get voting, specifically for the CO Wolf bill, they actually felt a lot better overall and kept voting and being engaged. The problem is overcoming that innate nihilism hump that's built into our age bracket, a thing very few can actually *do.*

So social and economic factors have no influence on a young persons development?

do i really need to explain how the corruption and incompetence in the democratic party has paved the way for the current fascist establishment or can we stop pretending we were born yesterday

Everything I don't like about society is the fault of parents obviously. Can't be anyone else. Can't be any system. Just individual human parents. Yeah that's the line I'm going with to talk some sense into this tranny online

Your parents failed you, not the Democratic Party.

I’m certain they are fully aware they failed us and are counting on us settling for less each successive loss and stream of atrocities to follow (all while working behind the scenes to kneecap as many campaigns offering anything real as much as possible)

Too late, I already bought it, apparently.

the liberals have shown up to politely, and without even a hint of condescendion, tell me about the importance of positive thinking so i think i'm gonna go ahead and mute this thread lol please have fun telling a trans woman that everything's fine actually and she should stop whining

But there was that one poster almost 20 years ago that said “Hope”! What more could they need expected to do? (Yes, this is extremely sarcastic)

They haven't failed us, lol

I don't think think they give a shit so long as those billionaire donations keep rolling in.

Men with brass balls DIED, in hails of gunfire to make the economic prosperity of the 1950s happen. That's where we're at right now. A new "golden age" will not happen unless people are willing to lay down their own lives to make it happen.

we live under a fascist regime. our opposition party is useless. and both parties have insisted for years that everything that could make our lives even a little bit secure (a livable wage, affordable housing, affordable higher education, healthcare, climate action, etc) is impossible and entitled.

My point still stands.

Denethor posting isn’t good.

It's honestly a good thing for the national party leadership to not weigh on races as that should be decided by the states This is why people had an issue with Pelosi getting involved in state races and similarly why people are upset with Ken Martin getting behind Platner before the primary happens

This is fan-fiction gobbletygook. Mamdani *already* had significantly greater mainline party support than Cuomo even in the primary: AOC, Liz Warren, Tish James, etc. Once he won all of Cuomo's party support vanished, Ken Martin endorsed and Jeffries endorsed when he always does - early voting

yeah this guy is trying very hard to pretend like there is not a big thumb called "institutional support" on the scales

Obama actually did really suck, he just sucked marginally less than the other options.

The problem with doing that is that if you promise the rabble hope and change they might occupy financial districts to demand it when it doesn't come

real talk I think it's worse. I don't think it's just the liberals, I think it's a lot of the older MAGA crowd too. They just react to their denial differently and it's lovecraftian hell all the way down.

It’s chronic room illiteracy

I'm 47 and I don't think anything good will happen in my lifetime.

It's the neoliberalism, it as an ideology that is solely based on making alternatives seem impossible
