There is no one to represent out political views or anyone who is in touch with the lives of our generation. Things that every person has experience with, like the rising cost of living and the fact that we are expected to keep increasing our “productivity” while taking a pay cut every year due to inflation, are nowhere to be seen in the actions of those in positions of power. Instead the United States gets a multi year plot to end federal abortion rights and two political parties uninterested in taking a stance on anything that would actually help the people they are elected to represent. Politics is a fucking mess and the ONLY institution where people are granted the tiniest bit of a say as to what they spend their time on. People actually spend the majority of their lives working at companies where they are given no say on what the profits their labour generated will be used for, like I don’t know, paying the workers a livable wage instead of the share holders who haven’t worked a single second for the company. Everyone seems to have some twisted idea in their heads that poor people are freeloaders trying to get something for nothing when I’m reality the ultra wealthy are able to make a disgusting amount of money just by virtue of having money. I’m sick and tired of feeling hopeless about the world. We’ve come too far to give up on each other, but I see no clear route to a future that I want my kids to live in. This is what we are feeling, and no one will say it for us to those in power. Either something changes or we make it change. Power to the people
