I don't have the energy to properly respond to this. I don't have any reason to be positive about anything anymore. After decades of betrayal, this is the last one. Fuck politics. Centrists and their republican besties have made positive change completely impossible and your positivity here sickens me.

You've mistaken despair for cynicism.

Yeah I deal with despair too. It's hard, especially with all the terrible shit we're seeing. I'm trying to alchemize it into anger and action, but I think everyone struggles with that. I get some boosts from being involved in local work and the community around that.

I don't get involved in electoral campaigns. Maybe local work would be something you'd gain energy from.

Must be so hard having two parties that represent you like that.
