    I don’t know if you’re depressed, disillusioned or a troll.

    These kinds of comments are not helpful.

    Things will not get better under Republican leadership. That party has been completely compromised by wealth and self-serving assholes who are willing to be sycophantic enough to the right people to get power. There’s tons of data to back this up, where a majority democratic government quietly fixes the shit a republican one broke.

    The Democrats, who are also not great leaders, are at least generally aiming to preserve the status quo. While some of us work to improve the Democratic options and get progressives into the system. Look to Mamdani as recent example. Vote blue and be involved in the earlier steps of the prices if you don’t like the options.

    Comments like this only make Democratic leaning voters check out because ‘it doesn’t matter’. Which amplifies the Republican vote.

    Comments like this caused people to not vote for the [list-of-things-people-didn’t-like-about-her] woman who would not have cut every bit of humanitarian spending (internal or external) and would not have started a maybe-a-war with Iran and would not have put up with all the regulatory bullshit that is tanking our economy.

    Comments like this actively make the world worse. Stop.

    If you’re angry at the status quo, try helping fix it. Run for office if you can, even a local one like a city or county position, or help support and canvas for people who are running against the existing leaders who have failed us. If you want a grass-roots movement to magically appear, you have to be the fucking roots!
