I feel all of that but you're exactly the kind of person that  I'd like to see involved. Not voting or caring is part of how the system is rigged. They expect us to just say fuck it so they can fuck us.

Full honesty.. I didn't vote either 😕.

I DO vote, I DO care.  I'm a member of my community board, and I speak with the people in my community on the daily (and try my best to relay that to my councilmember / assembly member / state senator (whose mother I'm on the parks committee with) / Congress member (who's a raging racist cunt) / my senator (Schumer, that fucking piece of shit).

I've even thought about running, but the hoops you have to jump through and the money you need and the bullshit "political clout / backing" and the mud my family would have to wade through instead of just living a normal-ass life.

I'm too damn tired for it.  I already work with at-risk and homeless transition-age youth (young adults), and I just don't see a win in the books.  Maybe that's what the cunts count on?

Appreciate the comment, and appreciate the hope that there are still good people out there that can change this shit.

Fuck these assclowns.  Let me know if you're running, damnit, and I'll send ya a few bucks
