I'm done engaging with the election doomers here. They're indistinguishable from an influence operation, except that they're more smugly self-satisfied wallowing in their own fatalism.
@mattblaze I don't think I'm usually very conspiratorial, but I can't belief believe you haven't already written off your various packs of naysayers and detractors as 100% a concerted, organized sabotage. You give them too much credit by even engaging with them.
A thoughtful critique is one thing. A pack of emotive salience grinders is another.
I mean...I can feel despair at the state of my country *and also vote and volunteer*. Sometimes people feel despair and that's okay. Saying "the GOP is going to do some fuckery" does not include the words "don't vote" anywhere in it, in fact it should motivate you to vote even harder to vote the bastards out.
@mattblaze I'll vote on Election Day. Not sure what else I can do.
