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.

    It’s not a question of policy. Republicans literally killed people last election trying to overthrow democracy.

    Not that I even like democrats, but anyone who votes red after Jan 6th is fundamentally an enemy of democracy.

        Ok, so what’s your solution? Vote third party? Don’t vote? Both of those help the republicans.

        Protest or something similar? Sure, but the election is still happening.

          Voting is the least you can do, so I will choose to vote against Capitalists and not for genocide. If you can’t even do that bare minimum, you don’t deserve democracy.
