(2,518 posts)Either that, or outraged.
Either one is fine.
Preferably both!
Being constantly terrified and/or outraged keeps you reactive and ineffective, and constantly looking to salve the existential pain of always being terrified and/or outraged. Hopefully, you'll salve that pain by purchasing the New and Improved® Product Brand Thingie-Ma-Bob®, which just happens to be advertised from Amazon right here on Democratic Underground. It's your lucky day! Of course, there's always that State Farm Insurance ad, because your loved ones deserve the best when you die of a heart attack from all this stress. And there's that jobs board ad, because you also deserve to ALMOST be a member of the 1%!
Why do you do this to yourself? You know better. There are literally 1,000,000 other things that would be better for you to be thinking about at 11:36pm on May 10, 2015, than who is going to be elected president a YEAR AND A HALF FROM NOW!!! You really should think about logging off of DU, and never coming back ever again. It's really not doing you any good.
Of course, there are literally 1,000,000 other things I should be thinking about on this Monday morning, so I'm gonna go do that... Bye!
