    What it sounds like is an 18 year old who doesn’t yet understand how the world works and how voting will work. You will never get a candidate (especially for president) who 100% matches what you believe. You got to pick the best realistic choice and try to get the best you can. Realistically a president has a limit to power and can’t get everything but if you care abortion rights Kamala is who you pick. And getting a nationwide right to abortion back isn’t nearly impossible. Its hard but not impossible

      The sooner kids realize that the real world is disappointing the better. They’ll set more realistic expectations.
