So obviously the solution is to stop.
It clearly isn’t helping, so why not save myself the ulcer?
If doing the right thing is giving you an ulcer, maybe you ARE voting for the wrong party. MAGA might suit you better.
What's giving me an ulcer is me doing the right thing and everybody else fucking it up and things continuing to get worse despite me doing what everyone says I should. It's not working, it hasn't been working, and it will continue to not work while the country and planet go down the tubes.
Better people than you have called me MAGA because I hate the Democrats for being complete fuckups
Who the fuck are YOU to think that "boo hoo I voted correctly why didn't it work??" It's a goddamn democracy. Your vote alone is a drop in the ocean. You have to convince others as well.
Why the hell should someone with no political experience, no money, and a life to lead take this on when there is ostensibly an existing organization whose job it is to do this? What then hell do they do with all that money we send them?
Do you send money to the Democratic Party?
I used to, until I realized they waste it
Do you feel better trying to drag everyone else down into your self pity?
Yes, actually. It’s feels good to stop pretending.
