It must be nice to belong to a demographic that is unaffected by politics.
- Spivak 5y agoYeah, the privilege is absolutely nuts. I've had to make very concrete plans to move if elections in my state ever starts to turn really red. I don't give two shits about most politics, but I have zero choice but huddle up against the Democrats because they're the only ones not actively trying to harm me and at least pay lip service to my issue. In the absence of R's treatment of minorities, stupid manufactured culture war wedge issues, and sudden onset bootlicking, I would probably be one. I don't get that choice though. Like the only thing that has kept me safe the past decade is my state supreme court and the ACLU.

- reaperducer 5y agoSounds like you've never been hungry. Or poor.
- nickthemagicman 5y agoThat's an oddly false dichotomy
