    The democrats love the two party system. They don’t care that each election cycle is a game of chicken with a literal fascist party, so long as they don’t need to deliver on real economic reforms for the people in order to win reelection.

          Please stop, don’t give me this information, not now

          Edit: but I do really feel bad for kids. i think as bad as things are, at least I sort of got to witness the lead up to 2016, gamergate, and of course the growth of social media, so as crazy as things are right now I at least have a context for understanding. I can’t imagine what it would be like for a high schooler/middle schooler growing up today with no context for the absolute insanity of American politics currently.
