Look into local mutual aid groups and do what you can for those around you. That will go a long way to help you and your mental health, plus having a strong network means you can help when things start to get bad.

50% of us couldn't be bothered to have an opinion, so I guess they get what they get.

Nice! I've job hopped a few times and tripped my salary in 5 years and am at a unicorn msp with unlimited PTO and management that cares about employees.

I wish I could find a union IT shop, but nothing around that I've seen available. Happy to hear my first statement isn't as universal as my experience suggests!

There are dozens of us (working for MSPs because in house doesn't pay as well and companies are cheap and want to outsource that cost center)!

Lol, you don't know me, or that I've literally been there.

And this sense of superiority and refusal to understand or empathize is why hundreds of millions don't listen to you.

Pot and kettle friend.

Do you even know what that life is like? Working yourself to the bone to feed your family and still staring down the barrel of an election that you tangentially know will harm you in some way?

I've done 80hr weeks for years, and it fucking sucks. Check your assumptions, because this sense of superiority is why I ignore people like you. I've been there, but I still made the time when I had to with shit like absentee voting. Not everyone has that ability, but don't pretend like that takes away their agency, even if they have little energy to put to it

No matter who they elect things get worse

"Whether I get a minor laceration or I lose my arm, I'm still going to bleed"

What the fuck are you smoking friend, my entire friend group is visibly queer and the only option we had available was Kamala. I would lash out for your ignorance, but you have no way of knowing and are extremely raw.

They spit in our faces and minimize a fucking GENOCIDE and then expect us to vote for them?

And instead you spit right back and welcomed it on yourself and those like you and I love. This isn't to vote shame, it's just acknowledging objective reality.

I'm so sorry for you and those around me who are going to suffer for the choices made yesterday, but you really need to stop and think about the choices available to you in this limited and frankly fucked up world. I stand by my statement, no matter how many people refuse to accept that bad situations have awful choices with worse outcomes for wanting to die in a particular hill.

Fuck them and fuck you too.

I hope you're able to find safety and peace, and that you're willing to let yourself see past your morality to the bare facts of reality. Electoralism fucking sucks, but you can now see what happens when morality outweighs pragmatism.

Goodbye, I don't have the mental bandwidth to deal with such bitter and misplaced hatred, especially when trying to keep the sanity of those around me melting down. Stay safe.

Edit: 'go to brunch' lol, fuckers don't know shit about what I've done and are just salty I have a different opinion, so clearly I'm just a brunch ally.

I'd tell you to get fucked, but I wish the best for you, even if you're lashing out in ugly ways. Find peace friends, I'll still be in the front lines even if you spit on me.

And instead of doing something even remotely helpful, they let the genocide harder guy win.

But go off, accelerationist, go ahead and tell me how this makes things better. And keep using the word fascist, maybe someday you'll learn the meaning.

I've taken to calling them out as exactly what they are: virtue signallers. Like you said, they're just larping about caring about these people, and boy do they get salty when they have to deny it.

Don't know why you got a downvotes, Hamburger Hitler said he'd take them without due process

Good fucking luck with that. Too many people view their spotless moral record as being more important than outcomes or improving lives (/not actively making things worse).

Misanthropy is the only real outcome to this sort of behavior.

Eh, y'all got that pornography sent to you 3 pixels at a time, that hardly counts as 'all you can stomach porn'. Waiting between each line of your image is barely equivalent to today's hard hitting porn problems such as videos buffering (though it's an amusing comparison now that I think about it).

A better comparison would be long term coma patients or people who've been in prison since the 90s.
