  • The government is not one person. Are there members of congress, state and local government with whom you align? Do you think they will be more able to have a positive impact under Trump or under Biden? I’m all for criticizing Biden and the Democratic party. I recognize the cynicism of the “lesser evils” cycle we are stuck with when it comes to presidential candidates. I recognize the unfairness of the “if you don’t eat the Dems bullshit and vote blue you will be complicit in creating a fascist state where women don’t have bodily autonomy.” It feels like we are being forced into accepting the Democratic party based on a threat. I won’t be threatened. But I will also not make things worse for people out of personal frustration and discomfort. So Biden is another neo-centrist. We know this. And I’ll vote for him again because the politics I actually support will have a better chance of doing some good than if I don’t vote for him. You can say I’m giving in to the Dems threats but I don’t give a shit. Our country has failed to deliver good candidates but I’m not gonna take my ball and go home.












  • I struggle with similar symptoms regularly. For me the culprit is boring old anxiety. I know how to relax. I know I am not in danger. Anxious brain gonna do anxious brain stuff. Not saying this is your solution, but it sounds very close to my experience. Just like they say drowning doest look like it does in the movies, anxiety can present in many ways. Therapy is a really good thing. If you feel weird about that, I’d say (forgive the woo woo) just go for a walk every day for a week. Sounds like your brain needs a break. Love to you boss. Times tuff.
