I'm checked out of voting, I live in Texas. Nothing but card-carrying neo-nazis in this shithole. Shame too, because I'd love to live in Austin if I could afford to.
Maybe I'll just vote PSL or something.

Because capitalism punishes success, that's why. Many people have learned that work isn't school. There's no A+s for a job well done, it's "can you come in today?" on a weekend.
No particular order:
: "But look at the SHAREHOLDER VALUE!"
"I love cars. Therefore we should mandate that EVERYONE drives!"
As someone who is forced to drive because I was unlucky enough to be born in bumfuck nowhere: fuck you. I hate always-busy traffic. If waiting in line is your idea of fun, go watch paint dry or something. I'm too busy to lengthen my commute.
Free speech for me but not for thee.
IRL? Climate change. No one around me seem's to GAF. Of course, I know places like here share in my belief.
However, kid me when I first learned about the concept of evolution and now worry about how the reliance on industrialization will negatively impact our evolution if we overly rely on technology to do everything for us. I worry about "inventing ourselves to extinction" basically and that's more or less my pet concern.
THIS is what people are suing corporations over? Not climate change or wage theft?
This species is doomed.
Hate crimes. and
cannot resist the temptation of committing hate crimes, and the pleasure they get from making innocents suffer.
Everything.
We are run by an oligarchy of nihilists that gladly want to make humanity go extinct to buy yachts they can already afford.
I am constantly told I need to lower my expectations for everything day by day, and then told I am entitled for simply wishing for the life a white boomer had in the 60s. If that makes me entitled, what does that make the white boomer that DID get to experience all that? No, I'll never own a house, now even renting is out of reach. Looks like porky's all set with his workforce and the only jobs left pay 14 an hour tops.
Just how fucking boring this world is. Look around you, there is so much to see and do and you will never experience any of it because you were not born a multimillionaire. You will never experience the beauty of Sierra Nevada, you will never get to enjoy Niagara Falls, even if you are lucky enough to have stable employment. Americans proudly call vacation a thing of the past, and the few times people do go on vacation, it's practically suicide for their career.
Bigotry is somehow being paraded as this noble thing, actually and that actually being tolerant is supposedly this sign I'm some big dumb-dumb.
If blue cities are so bad, why are property values there so high? Shouldn't red areas have higher property values since most people are fascists and want to live in a place where minorities are more optimally oppressed?
If this country hates me so much, why isn't it easier for me to simply move to another one? Even would be leagues better than this shithole.
Some of the worst atrocities being justified because it is for "the economy". Ol' Vivek argued that climate change isn't real because if it was, the consequences of doing something about it would hurt "the economy", as if consumerism is a human right that transcends clean air and water. Hence my first point about us being run by nihilists. If they sincerely believed in God, they wouldn't be doing this, or be claiming "it's okay, I'll be dead before anything bad happens! YOLO!" They only believe in their God whenever they need a justification to do whatever they want. Ironically, God seems to tempt more people into sin than Satan and Lilith combined
Everyone has a right to be lazy except for you.
Recruiters do nothing except tell people "no" when they need a job, and companies aren't really looking for new people otherwise they wouldn't turn down someone for not meeting ALL of their ridiculous demands.
Capitalism gets IN THE WAY of hard work, and sees hard workers as suckers, rather than rewards it.
This capitalist is alright.
