General Discussion

I'm 73 years old. I worked 30 years in developmental disabilities and loved my job. Most people wouldn't touch this work with a 10 foot pole. It didn't pay as well as like a lot of other fields because it was considered a woman's job. If there were any men, they were ones that got promoted. I worked for the state and county. I receive a pension and SS. Medicare which doesn't pay for hearing aids which I need and don't have the income to cover them.

I volunteered my butt off for Obama. I knocked on doors for Harris. I rarely saw young people out knocking on doors. If they did it was one time. I did it every Sunday afternoon and the Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday election day. I have voted in every city, county, state and federal election since I turned 18.

I paid my dues and am still paying. Don't come knocking on my door. If you want younger people in politics then get out and volunteer. I would gladly vote for younger people in politics. I go to pop up protests in my community mostly older people. I help the local spanish organization with food drives, I was an ICE verifier when they came to my town. I'm a member of indivisible in my city. I have attended all 3 no kings rallies in my city and have done the mile and 1/2 march through our downtown with a bad knee and painful hips. Same as knocking on doors which took me twice as long because of my knee and hips as it would have taken a young person. But they weren't there.

I'm not exactly sure what it is that I'm suppose to do or not do. You want me to go home and sit in my recliner? Gladly just let me know when the youngins are ready to take over.
