well why not… that seems like a pretty good representation of progressive/“liberal” rhetoric.
For reference, I believe that the dem/republican electoral pattern is basically a hostage situation. The Republicans are honest about being horrible, the Dems pretend not to be and use the threat of Republicans to get their way. But like, this pattern is not leading us anywhere good. at some point you have to stop cooperating even if the hostages might get hurt, or you just lose anyway. (Though that’s easier for me to say I have no family and am more or less suicidally depressed. But the alternative is business as usual until the next even more desperate situation)
That’s the whole point they aren’t better, they are standing by as a genocide is happening in real time and not even verbally protesting. Weeks of indiscriminate bombing, 7k dead, thousands more displaced, revenge for a terrorist attack that killed 2k people, with no end in sight.
They claim it is all in the name of defeating Hamas but like, cmon. To quote, if you killed the leader of Hamas but caught my brother and uncle in the blast as “acceptable collateral damage”, my immediate reaction would be to start Hamas 2.
Israelis have compared it to 9/11 to draw sympathy from Americans, and Israel is speedrunning the same awful crap that we did to ourselves and to foreign countries in the years that followed it. In what world has the US’s reaction to 9/11 made the world safer or more peaceful for even the average American, to say nothing of people in the Middle East??
That is what the Democrats are supporting near unanimously (with the exception of a few house Democrats, thank you ilhan Omar and co). It has to stop ASAP in the name of basic humanity. I can’t stand all this being done in my name

This is an incredibly honest disclaimer and it genuinely makes me sad. Your position is sensible for your situation.
Are you seeing a psychiatrist or therapist? Are you able to? If not in person, there should be some really good options to do so remotely and without breaking the bank.
I deal with depression and anxiety too. It can be overwhelming sometimes, and when the world’s gone to shit, it doesn’t take much for it to all collapse. I’ve been there personally. And I can tell you, cliche as it is, it does get better. You don’t even notice it. One day you’ll look at something that reminds you of the dark time period, and you’ll be amazed at how you feel now vs how you felt then.
Life sucks, but we don’t have to suffer. We can help each other out.
better yet, don’t quote vaush

point is, democrats are better, and if you are going to argue this, try not being decently-off and white.
