(3/3) Also not here to hear y’all criticizing: “everyone suddenly cares about politics” because this is the way it should be and whether you want to admit it or not, most of us benefit from it every single day.
(1/3) RECOGNIZE YOUR PRIVILEGE.
Incredibly bored & exhausted w voluntary nonvoters and those with hyper-‘anarchist’ leaning views, as if y’all are doing anyone—yourself included—any favors. Quite honestly, most people I see posting or talking this nonsense are White (surprise).
(2/3) Recognize that your privilege lies on the backs of those who can’t vote, the suffering of people of color, undocumented people, the oppressed and disenfranchised, children/teenagers, the list goes on.
