Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

MODERATORS
The way you phrased it sounded like the usual "blame everything bad on the Dems" bs that's on every place.
If they’re not willing to fight for my vote then yeah they’re as bad as republicans who also don’t fight for my vote. They expect to get my vote just because they are slightly less bad, but that’s not enough in my opinion.
But then you're willing to die on this one hill at the expense of everything else?
While each party isn't perfect, you should still look at the whole and judge based on that whole. No party can be 100% of everything you want as no one will want 100% of everything you want too. If they tried to be everything you want, then they would lose against so many others. And from what I'm seeing, this seems to be mostly complained about from the under 18 year old crowd that couldn't vote anyways, meaning it's most likely been considered of the for and against and the vote age (and their block) are for it.
it's incredibly condescending to assume that you are seeing the whole picture and that anyone complaining is not
and then to double down by claiming that the people who are against this aren't even worth it anyway cos they're too young to vote right this second
and libs wonder why they keep shooting themselves in the foot
