        Maybe instead of labeling things you are uncomfortable with as doomerism you should be encouraging people to use their critical thinking skills when reading disparate sources of information and cross checking and not just lock stock and blocking things that don’t make them feel good. Copium and cowards brought us here. I hope you have the day you voted for.

          You’re the one being a coward. Because you won’t dare to believe what might be possible if we dare to believe what’s possible. So you accept failure, because you’re more comfortable with certainty and you refuse to embrace the unknown.

          And so you tell everybody to give up, and you accuse someone of gatekeeping when they tell you to keep your pessimism to yourself?

          And then you have the gall to blame others for why you choose not to vote? You know some elections this year came down to double and triple digits, right? Not percentage points. Number of votes. And you still want to tell people voting won’t make a difference?

                Because that shit makes me not want to vote when I hear the cries of the dead sailors who have crashed upon the siren song of copium and Polly Anna. I guarantee I’ve voted more than you and the other commenter. And if you want to characterize me as whining, it more like me whining about why maggots have devoured your frontal cortex.

                    Not only did you idiots plug your ears but as a part of the dem wave you fought tooth and nail against the progressive bloc harder than any of you ever fought against the gop.

                    Tell me that you voted.

          For years I have given people like you my time. It’s never helped an ounce and has undoubtedly damaged my mental health and helped Nazis. That ends now. Won’t be replying any more.

            Thats ultimately for the good. Your replies are counterproductive and just prolong the problems we all have with our government.

            Ok. It’s funny because I have the same sentiment towards you. It’s good that you’ve decidedly ended this because I think I could just reply to your vapid nonsense forever. I’ll see you in the food and water wars. :D
