Our presidential election is coming up this fall and we are on the ledge of losing our democracy depending on the outcome. It's kinda on our minds quite a bit.
no offence or anything, this is not some democracy superhero vs evil dictator doomsday show off. Its a bunch of political candidates up for election with different policies. Its really misleading and unhealthy to assume your world is doomed if the candidate you support is not going to win. Same as it is believing that if your candidate wins you somehow managed to accomplish a heroic deed. The hardened polarization of the 2 camps in the USA gets worse and worse each cycle.
What a disgustingly myopic and privileged take.
I love that lemmy shows upvotes and downvotes seperatly
