I know about Project 2025. I never said I was voting for Trump. But I'm not gonna play along with this "you only have two choices so vote for the lesser evil" shit. The democrats did this to themselves and they should pay the price. They keep fucking up because of all the old people who refuse to give up power and because they think they can play the moral high ground and win.

RBG should have retired when Obama was president so he can appoint another liberal but she died when Trump was president think she was stubborn enough to hold off death. Obama should have appointed another judge when Scalia died but tried to be morally right and allow the next president to choose. Thinking it would be an easy win for Hilary he made a big gamble and lost. Feinstein stayed in office until her death at 90. Fuckin 90! Pelosi is 84 and still in office. These fossils need to get the fuck out of the way and let the people who actually have to live in this reality set the policies.

Why the hell should I reward the people who were the ones to fuck up this country. And yes I know both sides did their part. I see these two parties as the same and voting for either one of them is repeating the cycle.

This is literally just true though. Like yeah, it sucks, but be an adult and vote for the only viable candidate who isn't a fascist. I don't wanna get sent to a camp for being trans.
