We have every right to be pissed off. I followed every rule you're supposed to follow. And I'm still worried about retiring in the future. The system is fucking stupid. At my job, every system I implement or touch can be changed. Change is a part of life. But for some fucking reason, this country can't change shit. We just sit in it as everything gets worse while everyone who is struggling continues to struggle even more. The rich get richer. America blows.
- We just sit in it as everything gets worse
  Democrats make things better. Vote more democrats in, more things get more better.
  For example, under Biden, the wealth gap between the poorest and the richest is now closing for the first time in almost 100 years. Yes, that's cold comfort to the middle class, but it shouldn't be. It's the start of a trend and we need to see it through.
  
  As long as you're not a child in Palestine
  
  It's like r/onejoke but for agent provacateurs
  Or like when Lois just says "9/11" over and over again and gets elected
  
  Fuck me for caring, right? Nothing to see here. Move along.
- Inb4 Hurr durr if you don't like it leave
  
  If you don't like it, vote.
  
  I've voted in every local and national election as soon as I turned 18. Protested in George Floyd protests. I'm 30 now. Shit takes way too long.
  
  Protesting is for you to feel good. Unless you're protesting for civil rights and being arrested for breaking an unjust law.
  If you want to influence the process, you should volunteer for a candidate's campaign and forget protests. Sorry, but it's the truth.
  
  While I generally agree with you, protesting has a place. Protesting alone is useless, but protests in concert with working for concrete policy changes is a force multiplier.
  
  I live in a formerly purple county, one of the wealthiest in the nation, that the Democrats have entirely abandoned despite being able to win local elections.
  The only reason I have any choice at all most of the time is that I know I can choose to leave my votes for local offices blank.
  
  What have you done about that?
  
  Assassinated Trump. He's actually getting Weekend at Bernie's'd rn, but shush, my militia is going to expose it in October
