    It isn’t hard for me to believe that 1 in 8 people would refuse to vote for someone because their gender or color.

    On a side note, I’m getting older and losing touch with new music, but are women’s punk rock bands not as popular as I once remember them being or what? The world could use a little more fuck the patriarchy.

      Somehow Kamala is the patriarchy though?!:-P

      Not as much as The Donald, ofc, but Kamala came across as being basically the same as Joe Biden, or at least it looks like that was what she was aiming for.

        It doesn’t help anything but if you consider that our population grew by 6 million during that time and 22% (kids) can’t vote. Then say that only 46% of the population votes… Trump should have had right over 2 million more votes this election, aka he lost votes when accounting for population growth.

        Anyone you mind sharing? Id like to see what’s out there, plus I figure if you get 1 name to start with that’s decent, some streaming apps might find songs similar.

        When I listen to punk these days it’s always older music, but I figure that is just the algorithms thinking it’s what I want because I started it with an older band/song.

        I also should move on from Pandora at some point. I had the cracked version of Spotify for a bit, but never bothered reinstalling after I cracked my phone screen setting it down on a hotel bedside table. It couldn’t have fallen more than 2-3 inches. I wanted to blame it on the top being fake marble or something, but in the end the fault was mine.

          Sorry, deleted my comment because I realized the bands I was thinking of weren’t really punk necessarily, though they are counterculture. I really like Speedy Ortiz–they’ve toured with some big names like Liz Phair, and recently did a Tiny Desk concert. A few months ago i saw them live and a band called Suzie True opened, which is a little introspective about problems still but I think has a ton of potential to write some banger callout /protest songs and I’ve really enjoy listening to them.
