Oh for God's sake

You can hate whatever group of people you have hated for whatever reason and WAKE THE F*CK UP to the fact that they are not the ones who are screwing you. Corporations making billions in profits and not only not paying taxes but getting a freakin" refund. THAT doesn't bother you but a child who happens to be a different color than you getting a lunch is what sets you off ? You can hate who you need to hate but wake the f*ck up as to who is screwing you. I have actually gotten through to people on the other side with this.
You don't have to like everybody in the choir to sing a song that's strong.

They usually don't have the slightest idea that the rich and powerful are bleeding every happiness and joy from life.

They’ve always been around trying to fuck it up for the rest of us. We win when people get off their asses and vote. Non voter ignorance, apathy and entitlement could prove fatal. At a minimum, many of them will have their faces eaten by the leopards.

Age is also an important distinguishing factor between voters and non-voters. Non-voters in the 2024 election include significantly more younger Americans than 2024 voters. Americans ages 18-29 make up 28% of non-voters vs. 14% of voters and Americans 30-49 are 42% of non-voters vs. 27% of non-voters. Non-voters are less likely than voters to be older Americans: ages 50-64 (18% of non-voters vs. 29% of voters) and ages 65 or older (12% vs. 29%).

There is a pronounced racial divide between voters and non-voters; white Americans are the only racial group that is overrepresented among 2024 voters, while Black, Hispanic, AAPI, and multiracial Americans all accounted for lower percentages of 2024 voters than their representation in the U.S. population. More than seven in ten 2024 voters identify as white (72%), followed by 10% of voters who identify as Black, 10% as Hispanic, 5% as AAPI, and 1% as multiracial. On the other hand, less than half of 2024 non-voters identify as white (46%), while 28% are Hispanic, 16% are Black, 7% are AAPI, and 2% are multiracial.

Except the asterisks. They are not necessary here. Everyone here, including myself, are not afraid of fucks or shits or god damn's. Not trying to be confrontational or insulting but, please spell it out! We are not afraid of words. We may be afraid of lawless egregious actions against other human beings but, not words used to accentuate or describe those egregious actions.

With that said, fuck TSF and blowjob Bondi and all the other anti-American shit-mongers that do his god damn fucking biddings!

Even people who blame the poor for being poor should be able to see that it's not fair to punish a KID for having poor parents. What's more, that kid's chances of eventually escaping the cycle of poverty are improved by being well-nourished enough to be able to concentrate in school!

A pox on mean, stingy people!
