A Lot Of People On Here Are Young. Some Of You Are Eligible To Vote In The Us Election This Year For

a lot of people on here are young. some of you are eligible to vote in the us election this year for the first time. im going to try to say this in a way that i would have been willing to hear, when i was your age.

there will never be a candidate for president that you agree with on everything, unless you personally run.

there will always be things you think they are on the wrong side of. always. 100% of the time.

this isnt because its the nature of politics or because of the way the process works to keep far left viewpoints out of the debate, although there is truth to both of those things.

its because candidates are individual human beings and so are you and you are not going to find another human being who agrees with you on everything.

you have to pick the candidate that comes closest to agreeing with you on the majority of the important things, who you believe you can trust to engage in good faith on the rest.

Okay, this might sound cruel, but stop sending me asks begging me to donate to your go fund me. I will not do it, nor will I post it. You will be blocked immediately for two reasons: #1, I can't tell if you're an actual person or a bot; #2, I think it's incredibly rude to jump into a strangers ask box and demand/beg for money. It's not cool, and I don't like it.

Stop.

This is your one and only warning.

Say what you will about redemption but the character premises for the two new leads absolutely slap. "Hardison's 20 year old hacker little sister who grew up with the highlight reel of leverage decides to join and learns the gritty details that were left out of storytime" and "guy who would probably be a mark under different circumstances decides to Do Better and get kidnapped into the team about it" are both objectively funky ideas.
