Of course, we don’t have that because there are people that the power structure doesn’t want to vote - the poor, the marginalized, people of color, women, the gay community, more radical young people. And many of the people who can and don’t vote (across demographics) don’t because they feel demoralized, because they know that neither party has their interest at heart - AND THEY ARE NOT WRONG. White, middle and upper class older people vote in larger number, precisely because they know both parties will uphold the status quo which disproportionately benefits them. AND THEY ARE NOT WRONG.

Yep squared.
Plus, many don’t bother to vote because they know that in their disenfranchised areas, it’d be a huge pain in the ass.

Vacuous works, but it doesn’t include reference to a civilization in decline, which is what I was going for…

ive never heard that before, and while it doesn’t explain my own parents, it makes a lot of sense in general. death is a pretty rough filter

Aye; talk about harrowing shit.
I started to freak out just a little, upon having the realization that all the old Black & Brown folks I’ve known in my life were actually “anomalies.” I’m not even in my mid-40s just yet, and I’ve already outlived a significant percentage of my peers.

I’m just saying it was a harsh reality check for one to experience.

He certainly has a case of "I'm old, so I think I'm wise."
I’m still unclear on what “Let me talk about old wounds. The Holocaust.” was supposed to convey.

What other effing message does this godforsaken meat puppet have to say that his numb skull can conjure up in his empty mind tank all by himself? Keep reading scripts you sad excuse for a cowboy.

Solved? Oh great. Well then. Go tell the black people! They didn’t get the memo, or something.

I watched this twice, and I’m still not clear about the solution he’s offering. It seems to be “peace and love” (which I guess means the forefathers he’s talking about are hippies?) He should really be addressing conservatives about peace and love, not the left. They’re the ones parading around with guns, always itching for war, and showing up to peaceful protests with clubs and helmets.

Jon, Shut the fuck up; you don’t have a clue about what it’s like to be black. Stick to something you do know, like how to be an actor in “B” movies.

Speaking as an old, it’s good that we die. Perhaps others acting as plugs impeding progress will follow suit soon.
