Look, you don’t understand. Biden didn’t use all the leverage he could with Israel, and was old. Democrats tried to give everyone healthcare… So obviously, “Both sides are exactly the same!”

I want to tell all the centrists who acted like leftists were radical, dangerous people for the last 30 years in the US while treating violent, rightwing conservative ideology as if it was innocent and defenseless to personally eat shit you naive assholes leftists were trying to warn you about this moment in the US for decades, fucking DECADES and y’all still chose to listen to fascists over learning some basic things about leftist ideology.
spits on the country at my feet

Biden used zero leverage with Israel to the point that Israeli figures would openly brag about the US letting them do whatever they want.
They aren’t the same, at all, one is the bad cop and the other plays good cop.

Unfortunately there are quite a few young people on their side. We’re going to have to address the amount of Gen Z support we saw for Trump in the last election.

it’s much wider than generations, it’s definitely race and gender mixed into this problem for sure. And just looking at the White House it’s spread across all generations being represented here.
If you’re zeroing in on gen z: Lots of white boys who believe they and they alone are facing oppression and were brainwashed into thinking trans, brown people and women deserve no rights.
At least that’s how the influencer weight has been getting measured.

Meh, it is concerning but it is concerning in the sense that liberals and centrists won’t actually make an appeal to young people who are scared, all they will do is shame them for being lazy and sternly tell them their life is going to be MUCH harder than their parents so fall in line and get used to being screwed over and over and over again.
Conservatives appeal to young people with fascism, but that is not a new thing, it isn’t a new thing for young people to be enticed by it either, what is new is the cynicism of older people towards younger people being terrified of their future. It is disgusting, it honestly makes me want to vomit my body has no other response to my “elders” spitting in the face of scared angry children who only see toxic role models and empty talking heads as role models.
Blame someone else other then Gen Z, I am sorry but I didn’t spend my whole life listening to boomers say “but what about McGovern! Fall in line stop complaining trust me I am older than you and have earned my cynicism, you will never win young people never vote” to then have the narrative instantaneously switch to “Gen Z has abandoned us for conservatives are voting now why are the kids evil now!?!?!”.
I have been using the word “pathetic” a lot lately, but I will use it again here because nowhere else fits the usage of the word better, stop being pathetic and stand up for kids instead of concern trolling about what is going through their heads as they watch the world fall apart around them while all the kind adults are mostly in utter denial about it.

They are getting young women and girls with the TERF stuff. No one is paying attention to this.
