Everyone is awful
Everyone is cruel and they’re all really mean
Everyone is awful
And I want to scream
Everyone is awful.
The people who voted for him.
The people who didn’t vote for him.
The people who didn’t vote at all.
Everyone is awful.
there’s a whole voter base of millions of young men who turned to crypto because of their mistrust of Wall Street and Big Tech
Are you kidding me? Cryptobros are the worst of the techbros.
I actually liked those things about him, but that’s because I have a healthy disrespect for authority.
Nope. The Senate can vote to expel him but that’s only happened 15 times in the last 230-odd years and 14 of those were during the civil war.
Listen to the other folks, but also if you graduate in the fall semester you have way less competition for a job since most people graduate in the spring.

In this very interesting video Tom Nicholas describes the transition from modernism to post-modernism to a new thing called metamodernism.
One thing he points out is that post-modernist political parties of all stripes avoided having actual stances and thought just playing the part of a politician - wear suits, use the right hand gestures, say the right words - was enough to get elected.
This is almost exactly what Schumer is doing here. As a post-modernist politician he can create his own reality and ignore actual facts.
Oh wow that’s not something that’s been tried a bunch of times before and has failed every single one.
They know I vote every time, and I vote blue no matter who.
Why should they care what I think if I’m not willing to not vote for them?
This would imply I know anyone whose vote wouldn’t probably be against my goals.
Okay then why does it feel like I’m ignored and voting is useless?
Yeah but at least they’d have style. Their popularity would at least make sense. It would feel a little less horrifyingly alienating.
I’ve. Done. Been. Voting. In. Primaries.
It. Don’t. Work. When. The. Country. Is. Fundametally. Conservative.
