16. It used to be that when you registered to vote

Thu Nov 7, 2024, 09:47 AM

Nov 7

as a young person you expected to vote in every damn election. And if you cared about the issues, you voted a "straight ticket".
Too many people have too little knowledge about what the two parties stand for.
And in the case of Trump, it's pretty obvious what you would get if he won a second time. We'll be finding out soon enough.

Other than losing a loved one, this has hit me harder than anything in a long time.
Christ, we lived through 4 years of this monster. Ignorance, selfishness, racism and misogyny ruled on Tuesday.
