    Democracy is the government of the people, by the people, for the people…but the people are retarded.

      People usually get what they deserve, unless they deserve what they get. I sure hope the young ones all fired up (and rightly so) about the situation in Gaza also come to realize that by withholding their vote for Biden, or voting for a 3rd party candidate without a chance of winning, they are guaranteeing that Trump will take office, and if they think things are bad now, just wait till he starts (or rather continues) dismantling democracy. Then they will never have free speech nor the right to protest again.

                The fact you have any confidence Boomers are going to remembered as anything but a dog shit generation is crazy to me. You all have systematically removed every benefit you ever enjoyed. There is no version of history which remembers you well.

                At worst history will remember millennials as not doing enough. But I would much rather be remembered as being weak than being a bully.
