      What did you do that makes you so brilliant. Don’t tell me you worked and raised a family.
      I lost my husband a 22yrs of age. I’m raising our two children. I educated myself in that time. I’m not the only one.
      I see young people taking on student debt. To better their lives
      My grandparents told me you should always respect the elders. When the respect is earned.

      Do you have student debt. Have you seen the cost of going to a college or university.
      I was lucky that I had grants and scholarships when I began attending a university. I had a husband that helped.
      When he passed away. I had no other recourse but to take out student loans.
      I took out loans. Out of necessity not a lot. Under $20,000. I was over $40,000 when the debt forgiveness began. They didn’t pay mine off. My parents did. After they sold their house.
      The company that owned my loan was owned by Erik Prince, Betsy DeVos’ brother. That company sold it to someone else. A company owned by Erik Prince.
      Last I heard he divested himself of all student loan companies. But the practice continues.
      I worked in the school system in my state. I knew teachers that owed over $100,000. Many worked two jobs. I knew one that danced in a club. She did not strip. But she could earn $500 a night.
      I get angry when baby boomers. How much did it cost for them to go to college. One semester for me to attend was over $8,000. Not including books. Housing my first year.
      In the past ten years tuition for undergrad has increased 51.71%. For grad 39.72please don’t judge Gen Z and Millennials by our desire for help.
      If government offered to pay off your house. Would you say no?

    Did anyone notice that no one gave any specifics at all and just regurgitated talking points and generalized statements which don't actually mean anything? I heard another voter interviewed after the debate in Atlanta, she said "Biden is bad, but I will vote for him because that is what everyone in my community is voting for". This is the opposite of Democracy if you don't make voting decisions independently on your own.

    Lyrics from the song 'Keep Marching, from the musical 'Suffs'
    I won’t live to see the future that I fight for
    Maybe no one gets to reach that perfect day
    If the work is never over
    Then how do you keep marching anyway?
    Do you carry your banner as far as you can?
    Rewriting the world with your imperfect pen?
    Til the next stubborn girl picks it up in
    A picket line over and over again?
    And you join in the chorus of centuries chanting to her
    The path will be twisted and risky and slow
    But keep marching, keep marching
    Will you fail or prevail, well, you may never know
    But keep marching, keep marching
    ‘Cause your ancestors are all the proof you need
    That progress is possible, not guaranteed
    It will only be made if we keep marching,
    Keep marching on
    Keep marching on, keep marching on
    And remember every mother that you came from
    Learn as much from our success as our mistakes
    Don’t forget you’re merely one of many others
    On the journey every generation makes
    We did not end injustice and neither will you
    But still, we made strides so we know you can too
    Make peace with our incomplete power and use it for good
    ‘Cause there’s so much to do
    The gains will feel small and the losses too large
    Keep marching, keep marching
    You’ll rarely agree with whoever’s in charge
    Keep marching, keep marching
    ‘Cause your ancestors are all the proof you need
    That progress is possible, not guaranteed
    It will only be made if we keep marching,
    Keep marching on
    Keep marching on
    Yes, the world can be changed,
    Cuz we’ve done it before
    So keep marching, keep marching
    We’re always behind you,
    So bang down the door
    And keep marching, keep marching
    And let history sound the alarm of how
    The future demands that we fight for it now
    It will only be ours if we keep marching,
    Keep marching on
    IF you want a perfect candidate, you will always be disappointed. IF you want a perfect life, you will always be disanointed. Life is aspirational. Civil Rights, Women's Rights, Workers Rights, such as they are, are the work of generations.. At every turn, current Republicans are attempting to roll them back. A Republican vote is a step in the wrong direction. A Trump vote is a vote to end democracy.

      I'm going to be blunt. You people, the majority of the people in the U.S., are one of the reasons I left.
      "I'm not fear mongering."
      Fear-mongering: "the action of intentionally trying to make people afraid of something when this is not necessary or reasonable"
      "Voting for Trump is a vote for an authoritarian theocracy." This is vary much an opinion, unexplained, and an interpretation of actions filtered through whatever media outlet you subscribe to. I don't care who you vote for, but stating "I'm stating a fact." has absolutely no value to back up whether you are actually stating a fact or not.
      "I am right." I state this, therefore it is true?
      Your goal is ultimately dissuade voters from thinking critically about the facts because it is polarizing for a reason! Polarization gets people to actually talk about the problems, think critically, and figure out what is actually a better answer. You know why? Because for the last few elections especially, the U.S. has changed a lot, and reasonable people are connecting the dots that there is a lot of reason to doubt the interests, abilities, and biases of these two men, who are frankly old, already served a term in office, and have just been bickering over the position.
      "Vote so and so because it's the OBVIOUS choice." Give me a break. Young people need to face these facts and engage in polarized discussions or their biases will never be overturned to help them see the situation more clearly.
      Vote for who you have researched and feel is going to do less damage... it's an unfortunate reality because Americans can't think on their feet to try and vote for candidates that aren't just angry old men, so we're stuck with the same problems, blaming each other, same two party system, and absolutely no understanding of both sides. Just whatever you want to believe is true and enforcing it on the other "side."
      I'm sick of it. You people can dig yourself out of your own hole now.

      That's what you said last time and it was a lie then as well.

      @@AGW99-df3yg Our freedom, rights, and rule of law are at stake. The GOP, Trump, MAGA, SCOTUS, and project 2025 are all paving the way to our country's decline towards real dictatorship like in Russia, China, or Hungary.
