I am now in my 70's and fought -- hard -- for rights that are now being stripped away at light speed. My generation welcomes the strength, energy, conviction and passion of your generation. We will need each other to weather this degradation of our democratic republic. I always appreciate your voice and your willingness to engage with the fans of FELON47. Nice job on Day 1!

I appreciate the fire you have under your ass. I have someone who reports to me close to your age who was on the verge of tears because the world has been burning since he was born. I joined the local democratic club and can’t wait to start with it. We’re in this together 🙌

Just subscribed on the strength of this article, Adam. It’s ably written, and I like your opinions. May your gift of verbal skill serve you well. I’m a GenXer and, although I’m a lifelong Democrat, I think both major parties need repair. (I actually feel the GOP is beyond fixing, but anything’s possible, I suppose.) I encourage you — and all of us — to work toward overhauling and modernizing the US’s *entire* electoral system. The zero-sum game has broken the nation, and I truly hope we can move to something better.

Yes. Get rid of the Electoral College. One person one vote for the whole country.

This should be one of our very important goals for the future!! It won’t happen quickly as we must get through the next four years but it should happen!!! I don’t like the fact that because I’m a liberal in a ridiculously red state that my vote literally doesn’t count!! It isn’t fair!

I am encouraged whenever I hear you speak. You are not like any 22 year old I have seen and I am so proud of you. I am sorry that the American people have let us down in putting that felon back in power. These years should be fun and exciting for you and your generation. I am so grateful we have people like you bringing truth.

Neoliberalism in its current form is dead IMO, many see it as putting a bandaid over a chainsaw wound and it's a large part of why we're here today, we watched dems stomp out progressive voices and neglect working-class people, become an uninspiring gerontocracy and making it far more difficult to establish a true left wing coalition because of their capitulation to the right and corporate interests, to the point where the leading DNC Chair candidate is rambling on about "good and bad billionaires". I say this not to be negative but to remind everyone that we cannot sit idly and let our "leaders" in the Democratic party continue to disregard and not prioritize the promises that they make to us without consequence, we have to hold Dems accountable, because while the odds are stacked against us resource and money wise, we have to be on our A game if we want to halt the descent of this country into facism, organizing seems to be just a buzzword at times when the right mobilize with swift precision to misinform people and screw people over, while democrats are too busy fighting Bernie, AOC, and other progressive voices because they got a check from AIPAC.

Don't mind my face. It's been stuck like this since the golden escalator.

You had me at the first semi-colon.

Gen x has your back.

My husband and his son are French born and are naturalized Canadian and American citizens. If his son didn't live in the US I would insist on leaving the US. I'm working on French citizenship by marriage, which I hope to be ready to ask for this year. If at all possible I will not die in a country that might look like it did during my childhood before Jim Crow ended in the mid-60s.

Canada has their problems with the Progressive Conservatives gaining popularity, but their parliamentary system makes it harder for an authoritarian takeover to happen. Good luck!
