    You can do more. You can get organized and help people get organized. As someone in a state that is perma-blue, I envy you and how much political impact you could make.

      no, actually, i can’t, but thanks for trying to guilt trip me while acting like you know my life from a random internet comment.

      since i’m not privileged enough to work or live in a “forever blue” state, i spend my days overworked and underpaid in a shitty job, and all my free time is eaten up taking shitty public transit for hours to and from that shitty job to a hovel of a room i can barely afford, where i have to then spend all my free time either looking for a better job or searching for affordable food options, which i can barely afford-- and even then i’m on the verge of both starvation and homelessness. after that, i’m lucky to get a few hours of sleep before i have to wake up and do it all over again.

      so why don’t YOU do more than telling others less fortunate than you what to do, and mind your own damn business, ok?

      how much do you envy me now?

        Hey mate just gonna say I hope ya have some good luck and can get out of that shithole of a state. Florida is the worst type of state to be in since its economy is basically dead outside of tourism, hell even Idaho is doing better. So I hope ya have a good break and can make a good life for yourself.

      If you volunteer to phone bank for them I’m sure the campaign would be happy to have you call voters in Florida and other swing states.
