    STFU with your useless cynicism. You sound like a loser who’s already given up. We don’t need people like you.

    Literally attempting anything is better than doing nothing. The least we can do is improve education by having local politicians put more tax spending into public schools, so as to develop less defeatist losers, or less racists, less fascists, less religious fundamentalists, less tankies.

      I understand that you need hope to navigate this awful world. I don’t. I see this for what it is; a lost cause.

      Get back to me when those politicians start doing what you think needs to be done. I’ll wait.

        You could at least not comment on it and go rot off to the side somewhere while us grown ups try to fix all the problems for you.

          Oh please. I’m older than you I’m sure and I’ve been around long enough to know that the system is working as it’s intended to. Your indignation, while admirable, is wasted.

                meaningful change would mean that you wouldn’t need a phone call to see it.

                Well, if you’re even in the US.

                (and yes, I got the sarcasm of your post, but I don’t give a shit and I’m gonna respond to you anyway.)

        Hey, if you’ve given up already, would you mind voting third party so as to help disrupt the two party system? Kthxbye.

          Voting 3rd party is a wasted vote in a 2 party system. Granted any vote in a system with all the outdated and corrupt practices we have is practically wasted…

            It’s only a waste because everyone thinks so. That’s propaganda from the parties on top to keep themselves on top.
