It’s another election year, which means it’s another year to pretend to care about the livelihood of the nation. As a 29-year-old, I’d like to thank all those older than my generation for creating this political landscape. All while blaming us for not wanting to play the game you all created.
I, for one, don’t care who is president, as it has no bearing on the issues that really matter to me and my generation. It hasn’t mattered for as long as we’ve been alive. Issues like affordable housing, clean drinking water, secure livable wages, farmers who feed the nation, an education environment that doesn’t invite violence, an end to the forever wars we never wanted to fight in, oh and basic civil niceties.
We, the youth, didn’t erode these things, it happened on the watch of all those before us. The same people who continue to point and blame every four years like it’s a game of football. Politics is a matter of everyone’s livelihood, it’s not a blame game. Democracy is not at risk here, only sensibility is and always has been.
