Great thread. Despairing at the news & voting your heart out will not save you. Find local leftist community, show up, and be a part of building something new.
The purpose of mainstream Western news apparatus is NOT to teach you how to build democracy. It's to teach powerless and dependence on the ruling class.

The liberal doomscrolls, then votes nationally, and writes their senators, yet this takes no power whatsoever from their enemy.
