Surprised a socialist is on this site. Unless you’re an AI generated robot.
Politics aside, I do enjoy your memes!

And who is on their knees to assist and abide. Not me, ever.

No offense to ALL of them but boomers are terrified of change so they stick to what's familiar and that's why our country is going down the crapper.

In 2020 I held my nose and voted for the less of 2 evils, It was that or not vote at all.

You?

I rarely thought about it as voting FOR someone.
I was just trying to keep the bigger ass out of office.
I do feel that anyone who voted is more entitled to grouse about the current situation.

Nah, we got none of that. The Republicans in Congress waited until after the control of the house went to the Dems (and the bills wouldn't even make it out of committee) to introduce the legislation, saying, "Ah, shucks, we tried, but those nasty Dems won't let our bills see the light of day!"

Nevermind the same folks were touting they had the legislation in hand and ready to submit within the first month of the Republican majority. Some of them even ran on the platform of introducing it when Trump was first elected.

It's frustrating to me to try and research a candidate and find that their website and social media are full of:
A. What they're against, not necessarily what they're for.
B. Vague references to what they're going to do, but no mention of how.
C. Buzzwords that have no real meaning (Looking at you, folks who tell me you're going to protect my "God-Given Rights" without giving examples.)
D. Have more space taken up by where and how to donate vs. how they're going to serve the people.

With options like that, there's really no cream entering into politics. Or at least not advancing.

Also, folks have lost the ability to listen to complex ideas and respond to nuance. It's why, I think, candidates who offer complex answers to complex questions get derided for talking too much versus those who provide simple answers to complex questions.
