      Have you ever voted? Like, gone to the voting booth and voted? How about attended a caucus or primary? Because I regularly do, I’m 45, and I’m typically the youngest person in the building.

      The US voting base is old as fuck.

        When I lived in FL, I swear I was the only one voting that wasn’t retired.

        I first voted when I was 18. Younger people vote when you give them a candidate that actually speaks to their needs. If we had West and Stein on the national debate stage, I’m sure we’d have more young voters.

            I mean the greatest threat to the future is the climate crisis and nuclear arsenals. Both of those require dismantling the military industrial complex.

            Harris has doubled down on continuing to extract carbon and spending on the military.
