One pollster sees “flashing red” signs on youth turnout as Gen Z and millennial voters, who are not satisfied with either party, could again play a decisive role in the next election.
Biden’s interference with the railworkers strike are making “stay at home” a really viable option for me. We’ll see how this shakes out, but i’m not happy with anyone in office outside of Warren and AOC.
It would seem that given how old politicians are in the US, the disconnect is that much more apparent than in other countries with a younger age average of those in office.
Historically, labor union participation has been an incredible motivator for policy changes, and Biden’s maneuver was to detooth labor unions. I’m not saying I will stay home, but I was furious with his interference and I fear he’ll do it again with the SAG-AFTRA or UPS labor actions, which would tilt me full into staying home, accepting the accelerationist “let it burn” approach, and probably moving to the UK or Canada (I am also a Commonwealth citizen).
The Dems need to stop being the diet center-right. This is all very frustrating and my time on this earth and my patience is running thin.
Labor used to be a foundational pillar for the Democratic party, but they’ve taken that for granted for a generation.
Unfortunately, we can’t afford another GOP turn at the wheel; that doesn’t mean going easy on the Dems. We need to primary the congressional dinosaurs who are pulling us to the right.
Democrats let the housing crisis continue, are beholden to corporate interests, often throw together band-aid supports that don’t actually do much, but…
The republican party (or at least the alt-right members that seem to be controlling it all right now) literally wants Russia to take over Ukraine. They want to round up LGBT people and put them in camps and execute them. They want to (ARE) removing environmental protections instead of increasing them to fight climate change. Gutting child labor laws so 14 year old girls will be serving alcohol to Old drunk men.
Republicans are the school shooters, and the dems are the Uvalde cops standing outside with their thumbs up their butts.

“Stay at home” is what got us Trump for four years.
If you are able to vote but don’t, then you have no right to complain about the direction of the government.

Well, I’ll agree with that.
