    I knew this was the route America was going on since I was a kid. Walked the picket line with teachers during high school when they went on strike, and was appalled at how I was spit on and cursed at by conservative adults.

    In 2015/2016, told everyone Bernie was our second chance after we whiffed on Al Gore, and then we again fucked that up.

    The masses here are beyond stupid. Wish I had the means to bring my family elsewhere.

      Don’t know who needs to hear it, but here’s some advice that my philosophy professor left me with a long time ago:

      Sometimes you can only save one person, and it’s okay for that person to be you.

      like, where is accessible but also an improvement in this metric, because I see conservative assholes proliferating like a disease.
