My god in heaven, give them a chance. An investigation cannot happen without this step, so at this point in time they have literally done everything they can.
You doomsayers and doubtcasters are the absolute worst
Props for that, I appreciate it. I know how easy it is to give in to despair and assume nothing good will come of this sort of thing, because historically it’s been rare. But the important thing to remember is that MAGA and the corrupt corporate democrats want you to feel like that because it makes their jobs so much easier. Keeping the hope is a direct stand against them, so it’s worth it for that reason alone. But I’ve found that once you start to vocalize it, and see others vocalize it, it makes it easier to actually believe that things can get better. Especially after the midterms we just had.
I also apologize for coming at you so strong. I’ve been seeing so many people trying to break the hope, and I’ve been trying to push back against it, and it’s just exhausting and frustrating 😅
np, it was me who came with the 'tude in the first place. Just had a rough day and it’s easy just to write shit on the internet. Usually I am against doomerism, but this time fell for it. It’s easier to just give up, but we shouldn’t.
Yeah it’s definitely been harder to try to stay positive about the state of the world recently, especially on rough days. If you can, try to find folks expressing hope, and add your voice to theirs, if possible, as well. If it’s still just too hard of a day, just unplug as much as possible, but still try to keep the hope alive internally.
Yeah I hear you there for sure. It’ll take a little time to get stuff going, especially since it’ll be a bit before peeps are even sworn in, but I’m definitely expecting things to move much quicker than they have in the past. If they don’t, then yes, we would need to make some noise to show we’re still insisting on this stuff
Yeah you’re right, we should definitely be vocal about that kind of stuff right now, online and to our representatives. When I said “make noise” I meant it more like protesting and stuff, but I could have worded that better, my bad
They’ve had 50 years to increase taxes on the wealthy to pre-Reagan levels while our debt EXPLODES. Monopolies haven’t been busted since the 80s. They’ve just spent God knows how many tens of millions of dollars fighting a billionaire tax in California (and they won)
I don’t think you’re the worst, but I do think you’re adorable. Never change.
reviewing a plan to investigate. Yeah, nothing’s gonna happen

You’re right, sorry for being a pessimistic asshole.
You are a real one. I hope we normalize taking responsibility for our shit in real time. Thank you for modeling that for us.

Either way, I hope your day improves ❤️
This civil resolution to an online conflict gives me hope 💖

I agree to a point. Today this is fine. And you’re right about general doomsayers. But I need to see them moving VERY AGGRESSIVELY to get shit done.
We’ve spent too many years listening to “these things take time, be patient” only to find out that nothing actually fucking happened.

We should aggressively make noise right now.
Like absolutely fucking demanding they replace the milquetoast corporate dem leadership that have been part of the problem in the past

I don’t plan on changing, don’t worry. With your way we’d just be trying to make snappy comebacks to each other while the world dies around us.
If being adorable helps bring about actual change, then all I have to say is UwU
