(5,818 posts)I don't feel that my current - very modest - living standard and security (well, I am basically check-to-check anyways) will make it another 10 years. I feel there needs to be a radical press from the left in terms of economic and ecological reform. Without that, I feel there is no hope but hard-scrabbling and migration. That urge for radical left reform leaves me in the regrettable position of feeling there is too little difference between Hillary and the repubs to matter much.
I have been lectured on my selfishness upthread and I will think about the effects of USSC nominations, the unity of democrats, and the fallout from a repub president as time goes on, but I frankly wonder if my time and dwindling resources of health would be better used building a supportive community with others than participating in these "elections."
I am burned out and concerned for my family and friends; concerned for them in an animal sense. Survival. Food. Shelter. Things are desperate and I am more tired every day.
