It isn't hard for Maxwell Alejandro Frost to name political moments throughout his childhood that have stuck with him. "Turning on the TV and seeing a bunch of people sleeping outside of Wall Street talking about something called 'wealth inequality' – seeing that in elementary school," Frost said. "Growing up learning that 30 minutes away from me, a kid that looked like me who was wearing a hoodie was murdered for being Black, Trayvon Martin, and seeing the outrage after that," he added.

I see, we have male AOC

For Frost, his roots are in organizing, working as an activist since the Sandy Hook massacre in 2012 and most recently serving as the national organizing director for March For Our Lives, a youth-led group advocating for increased gun control policy. He's also a survivor of a separate incident of gun violence.

Ooohhh, what was this “separate incident”?

"The cynics kind of say, oh, he's too young, he's too untried, maybe if he were to spend, a few terms in Jeff[erson] City, maybe then he'll be ready to run for Congress. Which is really just political talk for let's get him in our system. Let's teach him how to play the game our way. And then if we say he's ready, he can run for a higher office," Reed said.

No, it’s the kind way of saying you’re too fucking stupid for the job?

Both Reed and Frost are progressives, honing in on issues like curbing gun violence, passing the Green New Deal and canceling student debt.

Ah so people raised on your stupid fear mongering are now cute little woke zombies

Frost and Reed's drive makes sense to Amanda Litman, a Millennial and the CEO of Run for Something, an organization that supports first-time Democratic candidates.

canceling student debt

This is a good strategy to make student loans go the way of the dodo. Nobody's going to loan you money if you've announced in advance that you're trying to get the government to legalize defaulting on the loan.

Then you'll start complaining that only rich people can afford college.

Worse, much worse. When they say "canceling debt" what they actually mean is "you pay it off for them; get on it, taxpayer."

It's just more market interventionism, unearned money, stolen money, taxpayer waste, and perverse incentives to set up systems to take even more from you.

The vast majority of student debt holders are leftists. Canceling student debt would be a massive giveaway to leftists. For that reason alone, it should never happen.

Trayvon Martin wasn't "murdered for being black." He was shot in self defense because he decided to beat the shit out of George Zimmerman for being a nosy busybody. He died because he grew up in a culture that taught him that it was OK to get physical with people to "teach them a lesson". He would be alive today if he hadn't initiated the attack.

911 told Zimmerman not to follow Martin, and he did anyway. Zimmerman pursuing Martin was the act that the prosecution decided voided his presumption of self defense and allowed him to be brought to trial. As it turns out, Zimmerman was wrong about Martin not belonging there because he was a guest of his dad.

It's still a righteous shoot because Martin went thug life on Zimmerman and learned the hard way not to start a fist fight with someone concealed carrying. However, had Zimmerman stayed in his car like he was told to, Martin would be alive today and Zimmerman wouldn't have had his life ruined by the trial.

"We don't need you to do that" is not a lawful order to stay in the car.

If you watched the trial, you'd know Trayvon made it all the way back to his house before he decided to head back and attack Zimmerman.

Trayvon was a piece of shit who would have caught a bullet or a sentence one way or another.

So he was killed for being black.

Oh and look the examples are both completely retarded. No surprise there. How do these people think they can win a war against us?

They're better organized and know that they're fighting to wipe you out. The Right on the other hand is in complete denial and thinks that their fetish for weaponry is all it takes to win a conflict.
