2020 was… truly unique. It was so hard to stay away from doom scrolling, and I (and many others) were pretty disillusioned by the sad fact that so much of our country legitimately supported the Orange Man. I didn’t get a wink of sleep the night of the election because I genuinely considered it to be a make or break decision for America.

My point is that looking back on it, in the end the only real difference I made was at the ballet box. This year I’m going for the Head-in-the-Sand approach. I’m done with the political memes. Done with the Twitter screenshots. It just riles me up and this year I’m gonna do my best to fight that.

    Not at the cost of supporting a genocidaire. If the Democratic party wanted to not have a second Trump term, they shouldn’t have supported genocide.

        A party that wants my vote should do something I like to earn that vote. This is politics not religion.

          Yes but in reality, no party can please everyone… and a crappy democracy is much better than any dictatorship.

            American voters have zero say over our foreign policy. That isn’t democracy.
