Young people today don’t need your moralizing about how they aren’t doing things the way you think they should. What they need is support. They need our generation to acknowledge the shit world we’ve left them & do what we can to fix it.

If you want more people to believe their vote in a Presidential election matters then work to get rid of the Electoral College or at least get your state to apportion electors based on the popular vote.

It’s honestly hilarious that this guy thinks he’ll ever be president. He’s like if Mitt Romney and Ron DeSantis had a wildly unlikable baby who was raised by Sean Hannity and a gallon of white paint.

When we take back power, I do not want unity or healing, I want revenge. I also don't want a lecture on "but that's just like Trump, he wanted revenge." He was wrong, we are right. It's different. Get a moral compass. Revenge or sit down. Call it "justice" if you must, it's that too.

This is 1% about petty Donald getting back at Cassidy Hutchison—and 99% about threatening any future witnesses that have seen Trump act embarrassingly or illegally. It's witness tampering. It's what Donald's idols, mob bosses, do.

The thing I genuinely don't understand is how people who consider themselves left or center-left can look at a government run by a naked fascist and self described right winger like Benjamin Netanyahu, staffed by people like Smotrich and ben-Gvir, and conclude those are good faith actors.
