I just want free public transit, affordable housing//rent/food/bills and some free time to actually enjoy being alive, is that too much to ask?

Republicans: Yes, you entitled whiny millenial. Also, no one wants to work. Also you are probably a groomer.

My optimism for the future is dead at this point. Even if we miraculously have a collective pivot into sustainable practices tomorrow, this train ain't stopping in my lifetime. Maybe it'll be better for future generations, I sincerely hope it is and I'll keep doing what I can to ensure that. But my future is doomed to dealing with the mess that unchecked greed and exploitation has wreaked upon our world.

Yeah, this is kind of my attitude as well, sadly. I'm a younger millennial, but I feel I've been around long enough to determine we're truly just a pot of boiling crabs dragging everyone else down to try to save ourselves.

I think one of the hardest parts of getting older, at least for me, is watching the childlike wonder and hope for the world within yourself slowly vanish. I'll never stop fighting the good fight, but the light has definitely died in my heart. Honestly, sad as fuck.

Hope is a toxic ideaology. It does nothing but destroy us, like a cheap steak in hydrofluoric acid.

It stays our hand, and slows our response.

Hope needs to die.

and be replaced by an unbridled, mindless, blackout rage.

Unbelievable that there are some Americans in politics who wake up every day and consciously decide they want to destroy everything around them.

Unbelievable that there are some Americans in politics who wake up every day and consciously decide they want to put their foot on someone else's neck so that they can feel superior, even if it means they are worse off.

It's unbelievable that half the voters wanted it. It's betrayal.

[–] WizardofFrobozz@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 days ago

Unbelievable that the rest of the Americans would rather just sit there and take it than risk literally anything.

I would change Republicans to 'selfish and narrow-minded individuals'

Owning class.

How much in your bank account isn't the point — it is how that money got there. It just so happens that practically nobody ever became a billionaire without the use of exploitation.

Yet, it is not just billionaires but any who make their income through exploiting their private ownership over the tools, land, and resources which make production possible that, under the capitalist system, entitles those "owners" to the excess value of labor, in the form of profits, that are generated by the working class – individuals who must sell their labor to these owners for a wage – under their employment.

Plenty of people who voted for the republicans are poor as shit. Selfishness doesn't stop downwards at being rich.

Voting for a party just because you want others to suffer more than you do is pure selfishness too.

As an outsider you're both just as bad as each other, Republicans and Democrats

How about tired of the uni-party system! We need real change, politicians who care about the workers, not corporations and their oligarchs.
