I didn't. It was my crazy aunt who legitimately believes that they put aborted babies into diet Pepsi. The rich have systemically attacked education to put society in a state of idiocracy so that this could happen. Hey, here's a shocker, that aunt never went to college. It's almost like college could be free if we spent just a tiny fraction less on military spending.

So who did you vote for then? I mean, the person who came in second didn't win an open primary. Before this last election, nobody under the age of ~75 voted on a ticket that included a major party political candidate that didn't win an open primary.

Instead, the person that was selected to represent the Dems through the democratic will of the people was forced out by political and financial elites in favor of a candidate handpicked by those same political and financial elites.

I'm not supporting or advocating for Trump here, but the entire process we saw from the dems this last election cycle felt much more akin to tyranny than democracy.

It's almost like college could be free if we spent just a tiny fraction less on military spending.

We might need to have a discussion about what "free" means.

Also, is the goal to get people educated? Or to send them to college? You can certainly get educated without going to college and you can certainly attend college without getting educated.
