[Excerpt on #Gaza: "If you really care about Gaza, vote to have a voice, so you can do something about it. And then, be ready to turn out into the streets, in the millions, and fight for it."]

Because if there's one person young people are just itching to hear from it's 86 year old Jane Fonda...
i thought the same thing at first but i read the article and actually learned something about her. pretty cool lady who was politically active in her youth and still is.
I find this comment pretty surprising because all my impression of Jane is about her influential activism.
Anti-war stance, HWPC, getting arrested 3 times at 80+ years old for climate change, supporting LGBTQ+s since 70s etc.
I know all these and I’m just a random guy from Turkiye.
Bernie Sanders is 83, people listen to him.
I mean... just look at him.... he's like the grumpy grandpa that secretly spoils you rotten. (of course we listen... )
Do not sit this election out, no matter how angry you are. Do not vote for a third party, no matter how angry you are. Because that will elect somebody who will deny you any voice in the future of the United States … If you really care about Gaza, vote to have a voice, so you can do something about it. And then, be ready to turn out into the streets, in the millions, and fight for it.
Well said
