(8,200 posts)The ballot box is our last and only hope. I can only hope that we can wake up the youth to get out and vote or their future is in the shit house of history. My time is over and I have to admit that I was most fortunate to have lived through the best times of our nation's history. I was born during the depression in a migrant labor camp after my parents lost their livelihood. Many kids didn't even have a birth certificate until after their citizenship, and birth were found in the federal census or had been recorded in the family bible which was taken as proof. Thank God for FDR or we would still be there. I was able to get an education, rather than being forced into employment while still a child, worked my way through college during a time when that was possible, gladly serviced in the armed forces, married and thrived in the Fair Deal and New Deal economies that saw the working class get a fair shake. The Republicans and their nincompoop useful idiots are determined to turn back the clock to the days of working class destitution it will be another day older and deeper in debt to the country store. The oligarchs are coming for you and they are intent on enslaving you in a hopeless futile life or misery. Its your choice.
