I can not 💯💯💯💯💯💯 this enough!

I, too, was blind for far too long. This last year has also broken my heart & opened it. It had made my mind go WTF is happening, and also made me understand so many things to which I had been so ignorant.

Great piece, Lindsey! Thank you.

Thank you for putting into words exactly how I feel! It's so frustrating that everyone around me is still supporting the Democratic party. How can we ever trust a government that is paid for by corporations and is directly funding a genocide?

Thank you. Beautifully speaks to an experience I’ve been having. Wanting something concrete I can do as an alternative to capitalism. A new purpose for earning income and distributing to others; a genuine trickle down economics.

Well done. It is shocking to grow up in America and find out what is actually going on!

Biden is often called an Institutionalist, so how about the Geneva Convention?

Our Allies in Europe are appalled. US sends more weapons and American troops to Israel. Only the Authoritarians benefit.

I’ll be voting for Stein because of the genocide. But scarcity is real. Let me know when you discover a way to create unlimited Santa Barbara beach front property. Or unlimited [un]holy sites from slaver mythology. Scarcity is why we use fossil fuels—“green energy”, except for nuclear, aren’t powerful and reliable enough. Glad to see people putting genocidal invasions at the top of their voting priorities though.

The world is not now nor will it ever be perfect. A vote for anyone but Kamala is a vote for the Divisive Savant.

A vote for Kamal is a vote for the duopoly. The war machine runs both parties; both parties are beholden to Zionist interest at the expansion of the Israeli state regardless of the harm it does to the world or America. Kamala and Trump are traitors to humanity and America.

The world continues on regardless of how much we take solace in wrapping ourselves in the warm blanket of self righteous hyperbole. We are here now. We must plot a course to a better place with wide eyes to the reality we navigate.

There is no hyperbole in Trump and Harris being traitors to America and humanity. Thats the reality, if you don’t have your eyes closed. And before plotting a course to a better place, a lot more people need to open their eyes, such as yourself.

Jeffery, take a deep breath and hold it until “a lot more people open their eyes” and come around to your world view.

It’s Jeffrey. And that’s quite the hostility. Death wishes? Because I disagree with your Bernie Sanders and DNC approved strategy?

Oh I can remember a time when people could speak metaphorically and be understood, a time when irony and satire were not perceived as “death wishes” or “hate speech.” Jeffery, your heart is in the right place. You are a dreamer and the world needs dreamers.
