I do discuss viable options. I didn't in this post. It is not viable to do so in every interaction. To take your very valid frustration with the status quo out on me, someone who sees and fights, is far more harmful than my glib reminder that the Democrats will not fix the way things are, only perpetuate them.
You seem to be very thirsty for real action. You can't get that here, my friend.
If you still want to hang out here, and you need viable suggestions to be mentioned for your own mental health, I would suggest that you add them any time you see a comment that you feel is "dooming". If you want the work, do the work. Hoping that people leaving 3 second comments do it, is a losing strategy. Getting angry at allies, taking your very valid frustration at your current situation out on them, hurts your cause far far more than a comment like my original one could.
Wow, you're toxic.
Way to embody my precise point. Won't be seeing any further replies though.
edit: what kind of a fucking idiot goes on record saying toxic online discourse isn't the problem, it's individuals upset about said toxicity? the same kind that fakes empathy (very poorly) I guess.
Oof, rather than recognize the issue, you escalated your accusations to "the problem" being with the entire platform. Then when you got pushback from yet another user, you deleted your comment that blames literally everyone else but yourself.
I don't know how much more obvious the problem can get. If you can't see this, you ain't seeing it today. I hope you can break through to a place of genuine action and truth. Good luck.
