Yeah, but that's unfair to the youth. Adults are slovenly doe-faced zombies themselves, they just have **** to lose. If you have kids and a house, you're more on guard about getting ****ed by some new policy. You already feel like you're struggling.

The young don't have the animus of greed.

I don't think I'm being unfair to the youth. I didn't condemn them for not voting or blame them for anything, I simply pointed out a trend in their voting pattern.

I don't know that I'd characterize it as a lack of an animus of greed, rather they, as you pointed out, simply don't have as much skin in the game.

Case in point. Young people generally don't have a need to. Young people can certainly figure out how if they have to, but I think many won't bother.

You’re like the Burger King CEO who has never flipped a burger.

You gotta up your simile game.

I might have mailed like two things.

(And we don't flip burgers at BK. There's a conveyor belt.)

If a communist claims credit for a joke, is that considered an attack against the state?

We have secret shoppers where they attempt to buy alcohol as a minor to bust stores who don't card, right? Idea: since we're unwilling to make the changes to law enforcement to improve their relationship with the community, let's make secret criminals for cops to catch real instances of police brutality. Have the secret criminals act within the law so that we know that there isn't any "context" to justify the state's infringement of the fourth and fifth amendments and the whole department is disbarred (or something equally drastic). Reveal the jig at the end of the full legal process for bonus points. Then, if police expect everyone to be a secret criminal they'll be forced to *checks notes* not subjugate and murder civilians for nonviolent crimes such as evading police.
