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.

I absolutely agree with you. This is just the beginning, theres a lot of work to do. There's no time for rest yet. Keeping the pressure on is necessary. It's not fair to expect to have it both ways. And people do need to be able to express how they're feeling. It would be good if they tried not to alienate people though. The more that can be recruited to champion the cause the better. There's shaking an angry fist at a cloud, kinda posting and then there's rallying the comrades to action, kinda posts. If people don't trust Democrats, (smart, they are politicians after all), encourage them to keep the pressure on.
