It does, thanks. And I agree. I don't claim to know what the perfect system is, but I believe it would be some form of democratic socialism with some sort of magical built-in safeguard against wars of misinformation of the type we're seeing now.

What do you mean by "these things"?

What about them?

I don't like it. Far too real.

Well that's not funny at all...

When I was a kid, people would get jobs, then stay in those jobs for years and years, getting promotions and raises. Then they'd buy things like new cars, houses, and vacations, just with the money they earned by working their jobs. So I thought that that is how life would work for me. Boy was I wrong!

Who do you mean by liberals? And what would have been the best way to not wholeheartedly support the genocide?

I'm not trying to pick a fight, but I am curious to know who is being accused, and of what specifically. I'm not a US citizen, but I was hoping Kamala would win the election last year. I'm also, like any decent person, disgusted by what's going on in Gaza and shocked that the entire world is more or less just looking the other way as Israel commits genocide of these people who are just trying to live in their own country.

Just seems to me like there were no good options for an American voter - vote democrat and continue to pressure the party to do the right thing with regard to Gaza, or vote for trump/abstain, which is abhorrent for an endless number of reasons. What should the average person be doing?

Hehe, I remember my daughter around that age loved to watch me play bioshock. She called it "the hand game". Hope watching me harvest all those little sisters didn't affect her in any way.... I also used to set her up on top of my base with a sniper rifle and a mountain of ammo and let her take care of blood moon hordes in 7 days to die.
