Don’t be fooled into getting into politricks kids. You will be used and abused and then discarded like trash, by the same people that claim to be your supporters and friends.
Nice to see these kids all awake. We’ve seen so many politicians zzzzzzzz in those same chairs.
Not if you pull a Trump and disrupt the parties it doesn’t have to be the same message but it has to make the establishment of both parties go crazy. As a young person I believe we need a political renovation because both parties are bad.
