Crooked Emily: I am a divorced parent with a demanding job and I’m in grad school. I still find time (ha) to show up to meetings and do voter outreach and I’m exhausted, so I guess I have too strong a visceral reaction when I see people say we’re doomed and I know for a fact they’ve tried nothing

"Complaining online isn't going to change anything." Okay, maybe not, but at least it fucking feels good.

There’s complaining and then there’s “everything is fucked this is hopeless” I know people are worried and telling people everything is hopeless may help us vent but it can have very real social consequences

I agree that the doomers are not helpful. Especially when they add smugness.

And feeling hopeless is exactly what the other side wants. I won't give it to them.
