Thanks! And thank you for a civil discussion. I will at some point look it up. If you have some resources you could recommend, that would be nice. I guess there a lot of good but also bad readings on the subject out there. I’ve volunteered a lot before I got kids, where I was mentoring children of refugees. But having two kids under the age of 5 is a full time job beside my full time job, so currently there’s not many hours left of the day to do volunteering. But I do still try to do small things here and there to improve the world around me.

Even if we do all of what you mentioned, globalist news of dooming issues where we as individuals can’t do fuck all are constant. Hell, I’ve seen more news on that white woman shot by ICE than news about Europe overall, not even my home country. Not even important news, but any news at all. My Home is more sane than All, but it’s sad the amount of focus US politics get on a social media that’s mostly Europe hosted.

Voting is a 5 minute activity once every few years Local races>general primary>midterm primary>midterm election>general. Its genuinely more important you make sure another Biden doesn’t win the primary than to vote in the general. If a Biden or Harris does win, your vote in the general is useless since they’re unelectable, and if they still somehow win, they’re going to betray the base by continuing and expanding republican policies until the republicans are back in power.
