Making this about race, or even age, is how you lose elections.

It's all about wealth AKA power. You don't get to be absurdly wealthy or powerful by being an empathetic person who worries about how your actions impact others. So while not all powerful people are down for an Epstein visit or a Diddy party, they're almost all down to look the other way.

Relying on elections is how you give away all of your political power to the wealthy class. Both parties represent the rich, we need to be organizing grassroots networks that can take political power, not ask for it.

Telling people not to vote is how you give away all of your political power to people who vote.

How's Trump in office again feeling for you after you convinced enough people to stay home?
