    Yeah I get it. I was young once and I’ve even had to have the bitter realization that even Revolution neither happens in a day nor resolves anything quickly. I ask for the passion of the young to hold hands with the wisdom of us older folks. It’s easy to demand sudden change, and important too, but building bases of power are important.

    Vote for Kamala then hold her feet to the fire. Vote in every primary. Discuss what you think with people around you when it comes up, I know I’m the annoying pro trains girl at work. Build the support and make those maga losers afraid to show their faces.

    And entertainers can do so much. Cobain got people who wouldn’t otherwise thinking of homophobia as uncool for example

      Ugh, train people are the worst. WE GET IT, YOU LIKE TRAINS.

      Edit: I genuinely thought this was a typo and they meant “pro-trans.” But maybe they actually did mean “trains.”

        I’m not cis passing enough to be openly talking trans issues at work. Nah I talk public transit. Shit like replacing air travel with high speed rail.

          I also misread your comment as pro-trans, but we DO need more trains! So keep bringing it up, you are doing good work.

            Yeah I hope cis people will speak up for me. I’ll speak up for public transport, it’s what engineers should be doing.
