    For 12 of the last 30 years, the presidency has been held by someone who didn’t get the popular vote, and gerrymandering and our fucked up system means a half dozen people in Bumfuck, Flyover can decide whether people can afford ramen or the fancier bulk pasta and sauce. And all the while the world is burning and the rich motherfuckers get even richer.

    I don’t blame people for their apathy. The world is absolutely fucked, and our society has painted itself into more corners than a room could possibly have.
