There’s a large number of people out there that think “everything sucks right now and there’s a democrat president, so to make things different I should vote republican”

Fund schools. Keep the department of Education in existence and quadruple its funding.

There's a large number of people out there that think "even though democrats had a disastrous four years, they will magically fund schools and give everyone a pony when they're back in power."

You don't vote for perfection, you vote the party in you can negotiate with

You can't negotiate with Democrats. This is the great lie of Electoralism.

ultimately, the federal Depart- ment of Education should be eliminated.

Direct Quote from Project 2025

Thanks to schools, I can read and understand that when someone says “we want to eliminate public education” they mean “we want to eliminate public education.”

This alone is enough reason to vote democrat. Eliminating public education means fewer people will be educated enough to know when they’re lied to. I know the democrats are a bunch of shiteating liars but they have enough of a chance to win and they’re not trying to defund school and those two reasons are literally enough to vote for them.

As long as people in US treat voting as the sole way to participate politically thing will continue on the exact same trajectory they are on now.

I agree. I need to further involve myself in informing more people
