Sick of politics

Is anyone else so sick and tired of all this political bs that you don’t even want to watch the news anymore? I’m tired of people trying to convince me to change my mind…..I’m not going to. So stop!

I don't mind the political posts here on SW because some of them are funny, and I agree with many of them. I don't even mind the emails that are flooding my mailbox because I can ignore them.

What I REALLY hate are the hundreds and hundreds of texts asking for money. I don't HAVE any money. If I DID, why on earth would I give it to someone whose campaign coffers are already full to bursting? That's like some massively wealthy person coming to me asking for $5.00 that I can't spare.

I watch the news ALMOST every day, and even the newscasters are starting to say things like: "I can't wait till this is over!"

I not only stopped watching the news a couple months ago, but I tossed my ballot in the trash and have no intention of ever voting again.

If that is true then you should never, ever, post another comment about any political issue.
@Diotrephes Why not? I can have opinions, and since I won't be voting, the mess isn't my fault, it's the poor choices people make when they cast their ballot whilst being uninformed of all the issues.

You seem to be suggesting that you are informed about all of the issues but you won't vote. Therefore, you are contributing to the chaos because you are refusing to use your knowledge to improve things.

Therefore, since you won't participate in the process you should refrain from making future comments about the issue.

I’m sick of all the bad news as it looks as though my side is losing the horse race and has been trending downward for weeks. I think it has been stressing me out and affecting my mood. I’m interested in reading some educated, rational explanations for why we’re losing, and I’m very worried for the direction of our country.

@Theophrastus I do live in the US, thank you. Not everyone is excited about Donald Trump winning 🙄
@Theyitis Well, get excited about Vance winning the next election then. Donald is going to do everything he can to make sure the heir apparent is pumped up and ready on the campaign trail long before the Democrats even figure out who is next to run (who isn't disgraced or hated enough to run and be expected to win? Currently no one).

Soon soon it will be over and we can go back to hate posting something else🤣
I just unplug every election year.

@BiasForAction but you're plugged the rest of the years?
@BuzzedLightyear I tend to pay more attention to news when there isn’t election news dominating the news cycle

Well, I'm tried of seeing Trump and his cronies lie and lie and lie and never seem to pay the price for their lies.
I get tired of the fighting back and forth. Some people make everything about politics.

Its all propaganda now, not news.

Exactly! Thank you!

Yeah well the people in the White House are horrible and we need a change. But I see your point.
