...has directly propelled and furthered what they claim to be so very much against.

Republicans would just love for young voters to throw up their hands in disgust and abstain for voting -- after all, that's how Republicans won in 2000, 2010, 2016, etc. And if you call my attitude towards them """openly hostile""" -- it's only towards a specific subset of these voters, the ones that try to depress other young voter turnout by being nihilistic and shitting on anything and everything we actually accomplish (you know, PROGRESS) -- it's because I've seen how this sort of attitude has only set back the progress earlier generations have achieved, made the lives of young voters (and many more) even harder, and prevents us from doing the things that need to be done to address such problems.

If young voters can blame """the two-party system""" ( ) for all their problems, I certainly can blame them not voting and allowing increasingly fascist Republicans to gain power and roll back and reverse the progress we've made over the decades, yes? Because one is actually the root cause of our problem and it sure as hell ain't """ the two-party system""" because you will inevitably have to compromise and reach a governing consensus whether there are two parties or 81 million parties.
