I can see I'm a little late to say this, but next time such a discussion crops up, can we all chill just a hair? I know this is important shit, but there's a fine line between educating someone about our country's political system and being testy at them for not grasping the admittedly complex issues at hand.
Besides, you gotta remember, we're discussing this stuff on a board meant for talking about goofy roleplay games on the intertubes. Nothing wrong with speaking about these issues and venting worries, but please, try not to scare-guilt people who are still learning the ropes.
make it through this year if it kills you yet | 2001-2019'S alright, I can understand. All I ask is that these discussions don't get out of hand or vindictive. I know this probably holds, like, 89% less weight than it used to considering I hardly touch this thread anymore, but I just felt the need to say that.
Trip, I can safely say that is the best edit to that page in many a year. Well done.
make it through this year if it kills you yet | 2001-2019i can kind of admire someone who can stay positive about things like this, but i can't - especially not now of all times
the fact that someone like trump has cinched the nomination for his party is demoralizing
the fact that we have a two party system where one of them violently opposes absolutely everything i believe and the other coasts by on the fact that i have no other alternative is a really shitty situation
i mean yeah, i obviously quite like the fact that we don't have a civil war going on, and we don't have terrorists that shoot girls who try to go to school, or any other myriad number of horrible scenarios that we could be going through right now
but none of that really makes me feel any better
if anything it makes me feel worse because it reminds me that the depths of how bad things can get are much greater than someone like me, who was born into a prosperous country, can possibly ever imagine
ok so that post wasn't very funny but i wanted to vent a little, try imagine i instead said something really weird that may or may not have had several memes

Debbie Wasserman Schultz for president.
