I am reaching the point of utter disbelief
Watching this Godamn fucking election coverage on the mainstream press
The “analyst” clearly showed how Kamala Harris can lose if she doesn’t get enough votes in one key state, though the numbers in question showed millions more votes than Trump
What is wrong with the average person that they continue to stand by this bullshit? Fucking rubes
100%. It’s legit starting to reach unimaginable levels of bad as more and more continue to uncritically accept Silicon Valley’s latest scourge on humanity
Thought I just had autism but I’m usually doing multiple tasks while brushing my teeth
Maybe I got the dlc
The existence of citizens united
Congress just would’ve gone remote, further illustrating that we’ve already lost no matter what happens
It’s also a me thing too. Because I feel it coming on and my body immediately represses it
Like my body makes the decision before I can cognitively 😳
Shit’s kinda terrifying from that POV
Still way too many
Non-voters stay winning though
Private equity has fucking captured this shithole
Sure glad that if Kamala is elected, she’ll put an end to that on day one!
Same, 1-2 is my happy place
shit goes both ways
My all or nothing thinking really do be showing
My irl ML friend moved last year 
Only DSA comrade I routinely agreed with. Them our DSA group died lol
Sounds like you perfectly described my boss. Dude’s a die hard dem, but he always talks about citizens united is one of the worst things to happen to the United States in recent memory
I have my own cognitive dissonance about this because I definitely should be more kind, but the glaring fact always wins out.
That’s good to hear, I guess my main problem is that I am very quick to compare myself to others so when I see someone from high school who has “branched out” and no longer interacts with myself or others from the same period, I feel like I have failed.
It really is so ominous that adults are treated like children by authority figures without some of the most cherished benefits.
I always think back to the line in simulacra and simulation about how the world wants to be childish to make use believe that the adults are elsewhere despite the fact that childishness is everywhere (I don’t know if that’s what they were getting at exactly but it’s how I interpret it). We are unable to be ourselves as adults which adversely affects developing real and long lasting relationships.
Even having virtual friends you interact with often doesn’t mean the same imo.
Not any less valid but not as deep in my experience
Just having shared interests or goals isn’t enough.
This is probably the hardest pill to swallow tbh. It’s not like I haven’t tried to find people who share the same interests as me, but there’s never a “spark” comparable to the existing relationships
And the spark is almost an implicit one for the long lasting relationships I’m talking about
Have recently been seeing a lot of advertisements opining about how whether you vote is public record. Seems almost threatening lol “Your family, friends and colleagues can see whether you voted 😈”
Seems extremely absurd to me. How has the duopoly still been able to convince people that corporations aren’t running this country? I truly thought citizens united would’ve been the nail in the coffin
Sounds like order and structure to me 
“Watch as we at US left wing news go to a local university to ask young voters about who they’re voting for.
We will be sure to avoid questions related to corporate capture, inflation, exuberant costs of living, rising costs of education and the US’s role in an active genocide.”
