Political rant, general vent
I will never understand why people go "oh politics don't affect me/my life."
Yes they do. Laws, enforcement, enacting, all affect how we live our life. Anti LGBTQ+ laws? Yeah they fucking affect my daily life. Anti gun laws? Affect my daily life.
Our healthcare system? Kills people. I could go on about the injustices of the disability system and how fucked that is for people who need it getting fucked over repeatedly.
But at the end of the day, politics are what govern our life, and at least having a remote idea is important. And voting is fucking important, it's the gods damned foundation of the country and people should bloody use it (or as much of it that isn't rigged or fucked by this point, but that's another rant)
That's all, thank you for coming to my rant.

@Veladynee I feel like it’s cynicism; the big and powerful will do as they will, and we peasants and sharecroppers try to live in the aftermath of their decisions, informed by the way our daily survival eats our energy. There’s a reason revolutions happen when there’s a strong middle class; there’s a reason the stereotypical protester is a college student.

@Leucrotta Well, maybe its time for a revolution, for the little people without energy.
