they dont get to say- just trust me bro.
we all know that the things they accuse others of r things that they either have done or plan to do.
plus all tsf’s little hints.

sweeping this shit under the carpet is how democracy ends. ppl were scarred by their struggle to vote. those long lines on campuses r y the ‘youth vote’ never lives up to expectations, but no 1 puts 2+2 together. and they’re likely to never vote again.
they sure wont if it was all for naught. for not even a fight.
