    That was my first ever presidential election vote, I was so excited to see someone with legit interest in saving the environment, full of hope for a new future. I remember how giddy it felt to step into the booth.

    I lived in florida then, the entire state was thrown out by a legit conspiracy.

    And it’s jaded my vision of politics ever since.

      Yeah, it’s a big reason why I think civil disobedience is making a comeback.

      People are realizing the government doesn’t exist for them; it exists for the ruling class. That’s now how it should work and we don’t have to play by the rules they make for us.
