    Less than half of us voted. As a member of Gen Z who DID vote for Khamala its because the only good thing she does is not be Trump.

    WHICH IS WHY YOU VOTE FOR SOMEONE.

    God I hate that Americans have decided that you vote for the person you like rather than vote to stop the worst person.

    You’re never going to get a pony, so do what you can or they’ll make you be a pony. And not in a happy way. In a “work in the mines all your life” way.

    Oh well, too late now.

      They said to the person who voted blue. Im not telling you don’t vote, I’m telling you why most people my age who didn’t want Trump didn’t vote. I don’t know what more you want from me.

      You’re never going to get a pony, so do what you can or they’ll make you be a pony. And not in a happy way. In a “work in the mines all your life” way.

      Ending the horrors of late stage capitalism isn’t asking for a pony its the bare minimum to ensure the continued survival of our species.

        who didn’t want Trump didn’t vote

        So you don’t want Trump, so your decision is to not vote?

        Is your generation brain dead or something?

        I’m telling you why most people my age who didn’t want Trump didn’t vote.

        And I explained why they were wrong. I’m not sure why you think this is all about you.

        Ending the horrors of late stage capitalism isn’t asking for a pony

        I have not heard a single person anywhere claim that’s why they didn’t vote. Not one. The biggest claim I heard is that neither candidate appealed or excited them. I heard that many times. Nothing about capitalism, just about the laziness of thinking you have to like a candidate to do the bare minimum of voting.
