Voter here. It's not just that I'm willing to subsist on dog kibble in 35 years to see most of Wall Street go to jail. It's that I'm willing to make that trade this year. If you founded a political party whose platform was "fuck Wall Street in every way possible, and damn the consequences", I think most of my generation would vote for that.
- lotsofpulp 6y agoIt would be nice if people who thought that came out and voted (skewing towards younger population). Obviously, a larger portion of the older population who do have their wealth tied up are not going to be a fan, and they tend to be the ones with the funds and votes to dictate political discourse.
- Red_Leaves_Flyy 6y agoMany of us do. But telling people to get out and vote when they've been disenfranchised, or will be fired, in essence, for voting is pretty tone deaf.
