So apparantly it wasn't politics that was causing my depression, I am probably just cursed with this... (piefed.ca)

I mean I thought like "Oh great, blue tsunami. Surely I would stop being depressed and juse ride the wave and be happy right? There's hope!" I mean the logical part of my brain does see the "atmosphere" much better already.

But then emotionally its still the same darkness, maybe just one shade lighter than before, but the depression is from somewhere else.

I guess the consolation to my depression is that my state has a blue trifecta from the election so minimum wage is gonna go up to $15 but its done in phases incrementally so its only $15 by 2029, also automatically tied to inflation once the $15 is in effect so future increases is automatic and does not require governor or state legislature to be blue again.

The blunami hasn't materially changed your life, and it won't if we don't essentially coup the democratic party before they give us another Biden or Obama.

Maybe you'd feel better if you were helping create the future you want and surrounded by like-minded individuals? Have you looked at your local DSA chapter?

I would recommend PSL, but I recall you wanted to work for the state department or something lol.

If struggling to create a better world seems like too much work, maybe buy a used motorcycle, it's better to be depressed, while being sick as hell than to be depressed and boring.

    PSL? This one?

    Bruh, the PSL that supports Bashar al-Assad? And supported the annexation of Crimea? And supports North Korea's ruling party? (and on top of that, they support the CCP which I have a personal grievance against, for trying to "terminate" me for being the 2nd child)

    Sorry pal, but you are aware that I'm more of leaning towards Social Democracy and very against ML one-party state type of thing, right? Would you do me a favor and please stop commenting on my posts, like... just add me to your blocklist, I'd appreciate it, thanks.

    The alternative to Assad is a comprador government run by the former head of Al Nusra while Israel ethnically cleanses the west, which is happening now. Assad was an anticommunist monster, but the alternative has proven worse for the people of Syria. This is the same thing we'd see in North Korea and China if America had its way with them.

    for trying to “terminate” me for being the 2nd child

    You never told us that part of the story, you just said they didn't let you go to public school until your parents paid a fine, which is a stupid way to enforce an even stupider law, but still entirely different from trying to terminate an actual child.
