Go outside, find a charity or a cause that matters to you and focus on that to see some tangible good. Sure this stupid bill sucks, but that's life sometimes.

John Lewis didn't quit when he was getting his skull cracked open. Abolitionists didn't stop when John Brown was killed. Washington didn't quit during Valley Forge. England didn't quit when Germany was bombing London. Hell it wasn't over in Germany in the depths of the nazi period. There were still people resisting the Nazis.
