    I remember being young and making bad political decisions. If my generation got to do that why not gen alpha? I hope the legacy my generation leaves behind helps gen alpha elect the leaders that they want without being fooled by the lies.

      I do think centrist nonsense like what Mr. Beast has said he would do should be opposed. He stated that if he did run, he would “listen to the best of the left and the best of the right,” which manifests a mystical property on the center of arbitrary lines being “good,” somehow.

        lmao spoken like someone whose only concern is their brand. Unsurprising, but still gross.

          Yep, it’s an extremely common viewpoint for privledged “apolitical” kids who think they solved politics.

            Yeah. Especially the part where they think they’ll be able to get everyone to agree on what’s best about each side.

              Also the naivety that, because people hold beliefs, they must somehow be good.
