BodilessGaze @sh.itjust.works We let adults decide in 2016 and they fucked it up, so giving kids a chance makes sense.

I went to a rural highschool and in 2016 Shrek won our mock election. I don't remember who got second or third though.

Imo 2016 was the most important election, now we're facing the consequences (of course 2024 could be the tipping point).
