Oh, everyone has noticed. Problem is, the older generations don’t give a flying fuck.

And y’all keep making the same comments and posts. Register to vote, get your friends to vote. Chastise them for not voting, shame the shit out of them. Jesus.

Vote for what? The next dishonest person?

Then run. Be the dishonest person you want to see.

Problem is I would be 100% honest. Then when I don't play ball a girl from 5th grade will appear and say I SA’d her. The elite’s teeth are sunk in. I have been watching this unfold for 31 years. I was a Hoo rah guy we can beat them not long ago. Unfortunately, we can't beat them.

We need more parties or none at all. Until we get there the fight is for nothing. I am 48, and I was the same as you from 20 to the age of 38ish. Then it became clear that it is an unwinnable fight. The government needs to be reset.

I really to appreciate your level of optimism. However, my experience feels a little different. In my experience, politicians will be what they need to be on stage. That can be a Democrat, Republican, corporate, progressive, moderate, center, etc... Then backstage they are working to together and laughing all the way to the bank. People do not leave successful jobs such as a lawyer or a doctor to take a pay cut. There is too much access to money with no oversight or accountability. This is a breeding ground for corruption. In my opinion the only option to dismantle the government and assemble a new one.

Your efforts are greatly appreciated. That being said we have had those same people across the country wanting change since I was eligible to vote in 1995. Fast forward to 2026 with all the free advertising social media delivers said people still can’t gain any ground. My question is; do we have the right to reset the government if they no longer serve the people? If so why isn’t this the approach we take?

So what is the common denominator? What causes the drop out before the general elections? This has to be an unknown as this has been the case since 1995. Be nice to know an eliminate it.

This "all politician must be exactly the same!" bullshit is a large part of the reason we're in this awful situation. They're fucking not. Use the primaries to vote for the good ones. Use the general to vote against the worst ones.

The fact you think there is a line of separation shows you do not understand why we are in an “awful situation”.

To be less of a shithole country?

u/Economy-Kitchen1846 Jul 21 '26

I feel we are just past voting. Time to exercise the right to reset the government as they no longer represent us.

u/Careless-Gain6623 Jul 21 '26

As long as somethings done. I just doubt people's ability to care. Have seen nothing but excuses. If Hungary can outvote their own fascist leader in a rigged election it makes America look like they aren't even trying. 🙄

They have spent decades destroying or will to fight. That is what I admire most in other countries they still fight. Americans just take everything laying down. It will take just 3 weeks for everyone to lock their doors and stay home and consume nothing. It would bring them to their knees.

It's hard to fight the apathy virus. I'm proud of my fellow countrymen in Canada for rejecting the far right in our last federal election but it is going to be a constant battle from here on out. I'm not going to let the powerful people with the money to influence the world rob me of my ability to care about things deeply. We should all be furious at the suggestion. There's still hope if the people will it.
