I got mad at all the "don't vote" meme propaganda, and went to look for how to volunteer with the Biden campaign, and instead I found this.

  • IT Systems Engineer $90k-100k
  • Data Engineer $95k

And so on.

This has been a problem for years. They are still campaigning like it's the 80s. Hillary would have trounced trump if they had let someone younger than 30 run their campaign.

We need a grassroots movement of a 3rd party to get some younger leaders in play starting with town councils, county seats, state, etc until we have enough support to get someone in the big chair.

They literally promoted Trump in the republican primaries because they thought he was a crazy fringe candidate with no chance of winning. These people are clowns. They are not worth your time.

Like, sure, vote, it's not going to hurt anything, but I seriously do not understand why "VOTE!!!" is such a big position on an instance called solarpunk.

Where is the tocktics of Joe? Hate the platform with a passion but it's what the kids who just became voting age use. He could even start an only fans and drum up some funds.

Edit: wow I was one day early with this, since they announced it not even 24 hours after I said this.

There is a local'ish politician that recently made it to the house. He (really his team) post videos of him across my states subs on reddit and likely on toctik, insta, etc. This is what the old guard needs to learn from. This is how you reach the younger voters and get them engaged as well as educate them on how things work.
