Y'know, I'm tired. I'm cranky. And at this point I think I might actually be more tired and angry with the defeatist shits yammering about how nothing works and nothing will work and doom doom doom than I am with the ones who have been actively breaking the system.

I tried voting that one time and it didn't magically fix everything, so there's no point in trying anything. You're betraying leftism by thinking otherwise... somehow.

Yesterday was a day to despair. Today and onwards is time to be pissed off and do something about it besides pissing and moaning online about.

Honestly a big part of the reason I still spend about equal time on xitter. At least there the people I'm arguing with I don't have a to play nice with since they will never vote blue.

I’m mad as hell and have spent the morning trying to channel that into something productive. Signed up to write 500 postcards to voters in swing states and called my senators (CO, both dems) to urge them to do something. Hickenlooper’s staffer agreed the senator should support scotus impeachment!

The people who feel like they should at least nominally be on your side can be much more frustrating than the outright opponents. Because you can convince yourself that the former are reachable much more easily than the latter.

People get really nihilistic when things get rough... but really it's the last thing we need. We don't need fearmongering sensationalist reports, we need to vote, protest, boycott and generally be activists. Fight for our country, not the USA, but the people in the USA and our future generations.

I keep having to take time off socials because the defeatists and doom and gloomers are driving me bonkers. Clicks are no worth the stress they’re causing people.

Yeah. That's the most disheartening in all of this.

The nihilism is rough. I remember Sarah Z's Doomer video when the pandemic started. The one line that struck me is that the right would love nothing more than to have their opponents give up.

Some of the defeatism is genuine, and we may need to gently prod and question. But when someone goes way out of their way to shame you for suggesting people try to DO something, that's sketchy. www.latimes.com/opinion/op-e...

I hear that. I'm going to donate, work, advocate and vote - and if that's not enough, I'm going to keep doing that until enough people figure out that they need to do it too.

Yes. Pragmatism is necessary -- doomerism and nihilism are not at all helpful. The world is not fair, never was, never will be. We must be pragmatic to achieve the highest degree of fairness that is possible. It will still be unfair but at least it won't be as abhorrent as it will be under 2nd Trump
