minus-squareSaltyAmerican@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4arrow-down1·1 day agoAnymore over the age of 18
minus-squarealmost_genocide@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2arrow-down2·1 day agoLol. You’d rather look like an idiot than lay any blame at the feet of boomers huh? As someone who has phone banked and canvassed in multiple primaries: It’s boomers.

minus-squareSaltyAmerican@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·7 hours agoI can guarantee you voted for a lighter shade of fascism
minus-squareDMCMNFIBFFF@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·7 hours agoI’m Canadian, and I voted either Libertarian or Green. Again, who did you vote for? Please answer or I will presume that you either didn’t vote, or you voted for Clinton, Biden, and Harris.
