Yeah except that for previous generations not “winning” wasn’t an inherent global existential threat.

Its hard to be motivated when you know either way you’re not getting the full life you where promised. Especially when the issue at hand is someone else’s problem. (From the perspective of my cis Gen Z counterparts.)

I’m not saying its the right way to operate, I’m saying its how lots of people do naturally. Its unfortunately human, and its taken advantage of by design.

Its easy to keep people preoccupied when they’re a weeks pay away from starvation.

Would it make my life and the lives of millions of other Americans easier by not having a target painted on our backs for probably as long as our country stands? (We’ll probably never see another election again IMO) Yeah sure, that’s why I voted for Khamala.

That being said she wasn’t going to do anything to meaningfully stop the horrors of late stage capitalism. Either way I’m probably going to die by middle age in the climate wars.

Its just now that they’ll happen even sooner, and now I have to worry about being put in a camp because of my prescription to estrogen.

Ones certainly worse, but neither actually seemingly give me the possibility of living a full and happy life. Even if I do make it to old age I’ll be living in a dying world, clinging to whatever habitable sliver of earth I’d have the privilege of finding.

Honestly until we start being friendly and share cookies with the ghouls hiding behind the funds managed by Americas institutional investment firms which collectively own everything, I don’t think we’ll be solving anything.

Its not that they need convincing to vote against it, its that they needed to be convinced their vote would even fucking do anything.

Most of us are convinced that we’re dying in the climate wars before we hit middle age regardless of who we vote for, the rest where the dipshits that went out and voted for Trump.

Do you think you’d have to pass to feel happy presenting. Or would you feel happy having people accept you as a woman who happens to be trans?

That latter part may be very difficult (or hopefully not) depending on where you live and your family/friends.

You don’t have to pass to be, or to be accepted as a “real” or “valid” girl.

Not to hand wave your feelings away. I’m sure you’ve thought this before. Personally I don’t mind not passing so long as people respect me as a woman.

Then again that might change once I’m out of the closet…

Less than half of us voted. As a member of Gen Z who DID vote for Khamala its because the only good thing she does is not be Trump.

A good portion of our generations more liberal/left-leaning side just got done having the shit beaten out of them by cops before getting kicked out of school for protesting against the genocide in Gaza.

What makes you think any of these people want to turn around and vote for a law-and-order ex-DA who’s ignoring some of the worst atrocities of our times?

Everyone in this generation who isn’t jaded and disillusioned is a fascist or fascist sympathiser (same difference :p). No one has the energy to care let alone vote.

They probably won’t until establishment democrats keel over, and unfortunately it looks like medical science kept them alive and puttering until it was too late.

Thank fuck for minoxidil, finastride, and estradiol. :(

You say that like we like either, the only good thing about the DNC is that it isn’t the GOP.

Holy fuck what happened to his eyebrows.
