    the failed gambit that the dnc used to create our mess is making me thankful for the distraction of clocking back in; the work ennui is a preferable distraction to the election results anxiety. lol

      Reading theory helps keep me from distress. If we know our enemy, and how it operates, we can struggle and defeat it.

        starting every single doom binge election coverage watching democracy now first has helped me immensely with the fear and the anxiety comes from learning how far apart democrats are from reality and the seemingly insurmountable hurdles we have to overcome to bring them closer together.

          We can’t bring the Democrats to where they need to be, they serve their donors, and their donors would rather the Democrats lose than shift left. The DNC cannot be infiltrated either, it sustains itself purely from its donors, and as such needs establishment figures that prop up the system with fundraising, while radicals are cast aside.

          This is why theory is important.
