    Awesome, but who said there’s no point? Like, literally. Where?

    Maybe you implied that from what I said, but there was no such verbiage.

    It’s important to be clear in communicating. I’m sorry that you misunderstood one throw-away line and made an assumption of who I was based on that.

    And thank you for the reply, sincerely.

    Who said I do nothing?

    I’m on the leadership board for my local political party’s senate district as a Table Officer.

    I help field manage and campaign with leftist candidates door knocking weekly (edit: and my candidates win).

    I’m pretty involved.

    Maybe I do those things because of my “worthless perspective”… but… what do you do?

    How are you making change? What are you doing besides throwing insults at a person who is helping, especially when volunteers are so hard to come by?

    Edit: As you can tell, I’m all “woe is me, let’s do nothing…”

    Your suggestions are appreciated but they were not asked for - I don’t like pretending.

    My wife is a journalism major and I’m very involved locally in politics.

    Weaning myself off the news won’t make the planet any cooler during this time.

    Weaning myself off the news doesn’t stop those with money and influence from being above the law.

    Weaning myself off the news doesn’t change anything, except make me less informed.

    Ignorance may be bliss to some, but to others it’s just ignorance. Downvote away, but honestly I’ll stick to this until we have an actual Utopia (without slaves).
