    It’s definitely easier, if not more more fun, to blame others than fix things.

    Here is the thing about people who don’t vote – if you don’t, you have ZERO grounds to complain about the government. Doesn’t matter that your side didn’t win, it is the fact that you participated.

    But if you don’t vote, you can’t complain as you were not part of the process, to begin with.

    Given the number of people who think voting and an equal say in legislation processes should be restricted to only the ‘right kind’ of people, and who work to make it so through voter suppression and gerrymandering, it’s a lot of work to fight against a system that is increasingly rigged against a whole lot of people.

    When I was a kid, I couldn’t understand why my dad read the whole paper, when the comics were the best part. Well, I’m proud to say I still read the comics, but I doom-read the Seattle Times for a year in 2020 at home for free from the local library.

    Judging by the comments listed here in the first moments of a new day and week, voting, political involvement and reading of media materials doesn’t materially change the tribal nature of political views….

    I tried that in the early 90’s but someone invented the “Achy Breaky Heart” and I had to start paying attention again, so I didn’t run into anything else unexpectedly.

    His whole process is a good one. Not everybody is cut out to guide governments. He probably would even vote for an anti-smooches candidate.

    We very definitely vote but, in one sense, I’m with Calvin. In fall of 2020 my wife and I became so depressed at the content and circus atmosphere of tv news channels, we just stopped watching anything but local weather reports. Within a couple of weeks we were feeling much better emotionally and physically.

    We get most news plus lots of other features from national and international online sources. We find it much easier to read and think about without all the carnival ballyhoo that seems to have become the norm for the networks. We also avoid having to put up with the cult of news readers who have changed from reporting to advocating their personal philosophies.

    But, again, that’s just our way. We don’t worry about how others handle their news.

    I certainly did not take Calvin’s advice. I’ve been voting every year and following complex issues since 1980. Cynics are never happy.

    Calvin might feel depressed if he had an issue, and saw that no one could solve it because there was no leadership.

    Just the other day, I read where a school bond issue in a nearby town, passed by one vote. I’m going to remember that if I ever start thinking that my one vote won’t make a difference.

    @Alexander the Good EnoughSo the Dems are making it better for everyone.Ok. Tell us all how that can be, when inflation is at the highest it has ever been in the past 40 YEARS.Two years ago we wasn’t buying oil, we were drilling it for ourselves. Oil was a drug on the market. Families had money in their pockets. Groceries was affordable.Unemployment was at its lowest. Then the pandemic hit, and the Dems took over.We are in worse shape now that the Dems are in control than at any other time.Give us Intelligent human beings a break and stop the bullsh—. If you want to sit in your fantasy world and believe that EVERYTHING IS SO FREAKING GOOD then have at it, But don’t try and tell us that these are the best of times, when anyone that has a brain can see that it is the worst of times.
