Have we tried berating men yet? That might get us more votes. Maybe mention how not liking undocumented immigrants makes you racist? That'll get us a ton of support among the documented immigrants crowd.

I just feel like we really have to try and make sure we get the votes from people who were already going to vote for us

We also don't know how to read. But our votes all count the same. And that's the genius in the system.

Also, this one turned 30 this year, and it's still evergreen.

The best part is the republican crowd is cheering and the democratic crowd in booing lol.

It's almost like maybe we could try a new political system. Whiplash was not intended but is now obviously the best case scenario.

Some of us try our best. We really do. Unfortunately, we swim in a cesspool of idiots and at time it feels impossible to influence the tides of stupidity. It's embarrassing to me. It really is. Shameful and embarrassing.

Why can't the stupid Yanks be more like Britain with Liz truss?

That's smart leadership from educated constituents.

Literally mental health. We got a school mental health person (forgot the proper name) who you could just go to. I never used it personally but I heard good things about it.
2nd year, now there's a waiting list. If you're having a breakdown and sobbing just wait 2 hours!
Year 3, now you have to go up in front of the entire class and scan a QR code. This is also when I was forced to go to her office while having a breakdown.

When I had a had the breakdown and was forced to talk to her it was literally an interrogation, and they legally have to tell parents you went.

Like am I insane for thinking it's crazy that parents get a phone call for that? What if the issue IS abusive parents?!

Back when my sister was in HS (~6yrs) they'd just go to one teachers spare closet and have 15 minutes to themselves before the teacher would check in and asked if they needed anything or wanted to talk.

I hate Florida. The worst part is when I go to collage next year I'm sure trump or desantis that will limit my education and freedoms there too..

teachers are there to serve the paying parents, they don't give a fuck about students (see: bullying)

School counsellor?

That's ridiculous, honestly. Students should have the same confidentiality rights as an adult getting counselling, ie they only disclose anything if they fear for your or someone else's safety.

Quick! Lynch anyone who suggests new ideas!

Well, it's Trumphog Day... again.
