You're right, Lena.
The voters should just sit in the corner and be joyful about the fact that food staples are becoming cost-prohibitive, and then laugh along with you when you all joke about it and pretend it doesn't matter.
No one cares about the differences between the two parties if your party doesn't care that they can't feed their families.
Would you rather have Trump's fascist regime and be an activist, or have Biden's much less worse administration and be an activist? Voting doesn't decrease your ability to participate in protests and so on.
You're not getting it.
When you're working 100 hours a week at three jobs and all your labor buys for you is a roach-infested studio apartment, it doesn't matter how nice the president speaks. The working class and poor have been living under fascism for years.
The message here isn't: "Vote for us because Trump's a fascist."
The message is: "Trump promised you this, but he's doing this instead and it's hurting your family. Vote for us and we'll put a stop to it." (Not that anyone thinks Democrats actually will, judging by their near-total lack of action so far.)
And for Christ's sake stop joking about how expensive food has become, because that's a very real problem and when people see Democrats joking about it, they think you don't care that they're starving.
So you think the only difference between the two is how "nice the president speaks". I guess which party controls the government doesn't affect you.
Love that for you, you privileged out-of-touch piece of shit.
