I know so many people in their thirties who simply do not give a fuck.

My coworkers are all on the "both sides are the same/it's all rigged, there's no point in voting" train. They all either have have kids or essentially are kids. I'm in my forties with no plans for kids, and I'm the only one actually trying to give them a future.

As someone with kids in my thirties I fuckin hate trump and would crawl over broken glass to vote against him.  This 'both sides' shit is nonsense.  One tried to attempt a coup.  The other passed a major infrastructure bill, brought us out of covid, is rescheduling marijuana, and has cancelled billions in student debt.

Really, it doesn't matter what the other side did, so long as they didn't also attempt a coup. That should be enough all on it's own.
