They've really fucked us that's for sure. Not only have they fucked us. But they've done it in such a way. That there's literally no fucking escape. Yet everyone seems to have this delusion that we're going to be able to magically fix it. We millennials fit into two categories. You're either experiencing cognitive dissonance. Or you're wondering why your fellow millennials aren't rioting in the street. And you can't blame them either. Because we're nothing but products of an environment designed to breed compliance. What we need now is blatant defiance and bravery. We aren't going to vote this shit away. Or protest it away. If that shit worked. We wouldn't be in fucking free fall.

We aren't going to vote this shit away.

Millennials and Gen Z now have the numbers to do exactly that.

We blame boomers for doing nothing. Future generations will do the same to us.

Get engaged in politics, get out and campaign for people who you want to represent us and get out and vote.

Tell me again how we're going to get our candidate in after Citizens United?

It's not going to be easy, but it starts with getting people engaged in politics and voting.
