Too much focus on discussing the news and politics. And rarely is it an inspiring and new perspective. (Sometimes it is, though.)

One thing I've learned is that voting is a lot like breathing.

Every time you do it, it's the most important one of your life time.

I remember 2008. McCain vs Obama. I preferred Obama but honestly I wouldn't have minded too much if McCain won, it was just Sarah Palin that was crazy.

Contrast that with Jan 6th, 2021. The loser of the election incited a riot and attack on the US capitol and democracy. This individual is running again.

I remember 2008.

And that's the thing lol, all these fucking "nothing matters" teenagers do not. They only know a political climate where democracy is on the line.
