Re: American political situation driving me insane
Hi Peter, I live in the US and I feel much the same as you, though admittedly it's hard to not just feel numb about it all. Pretty much all they tell us over here is "vote!" but a lot of voting districts are really gerrymandered and there are really oppressive voting laws in many places as well; also, we've had people in power who have said they will bring about positive change and either nothing at all happens, or it doesn't matter and the far right just continues to gain ground. Coupled with economic troubles, I must admit, it's hard to feel anything but pessimistic towards the future. I wish I had some sort of comfort to provide, but really I just try to take it day by day.
