    Well, when the students are actively complaining about not being able to afford rent or food, that’s the big indicator that they don’t have money for political donations:

    Now, I’m not saying you HAVE to donate to get politicians to do the right thing… but, yeah, you kinda do.

      Well it sounds like the current government is not providing a path forward for them to support themselves, so I hope it doesn’t come as a surprise when they don’t come out to support the current government. Especially one that is involved in active genocide and shutting down their peaceful protests.

      I agree that you cannot dispute the power PACs and the Pro-Israel lobby has. It is unfortunate that money runs the US government. It is even more unfortunate that people apologize for it

        It’s crazy how people come out and paint this dismal picture and then complain about voter apathy. Like, literally after they just got done telling people the things they will vote for will never, ever happen.
