UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.mlto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Getting super bored of most online/phone content, what do you do when you have a few minutes?English0·1 day agoCan’t relate. There is far more content to checkout then one can in one lifetime. Online and offline.
Hope you find your way to what you’re seeking in life. Peace.
If the people can cast off the shackles of the two party system, there could be a tiny chance of turning this boat away from shore. But I wouldn’t count on that.
The tribalism runs deep. Perhaps Stockholm syndrome would be more accurate a description because we are most definitely not a part of the tribe of either mainstream political party. Advocating to add democracy to our voting system via electoral reform runs into a surprising amount of resistance. People cling to their preferred political party with a white knuckle grip.
Should future elections occur, the wagons will be circled, the most important election ever ™ will be declared, and any dissent will be labeled as Russian disinformation agents. People will howl for the blood of 3rd party voters and yet do nothing about the First-past-the-post voting system.
Nothing will fundamentally change unless things are to get worse somehow, then everything will change.
But we’re damn sure not gonna give up fighting back.

An anti gun zealot and someone who voted to prevent union strikes.
We are gonna give up fighting back if this is our future with the democrats. More reason to pass electoral reform so additional political parties can participate in the electoral process.

UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.mlto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What are some good coping strategies for moving on and dealing with constant abuse?English0·2 days agoFrom experience: people tend to abuse others and take that for granted. Some will realize they fucked up. Some will try to manipulate you back into the abusive situation. Some will get mad their possession (you) is disobeying them and will try to hurt you.
Hope you can find your way to the peace you deserve.
Thanks for the explanation, I was pretty lost here.
