(39,105 posts)I'm prejudiced against baby boomer white guys such as myself. In general, we fucked up big time.
But my politics are entirely practical and thoroughly Democratic.
I don't ever censor myself here on DU, but I see little value in primary forum warfare so I simply don't go there much.
"Trump" is on my trash-by-keyword list which makes DU much more tolerable.
The best thing anyone who is feeling burned out by politics can do is to turn off the fucking television.
My own television plays DVDs and Netflix. That's all it does. No bullshit television "news," no bullshit commercials.
When I get fed up with politics I walk away. I have a garden and a dog who chases tennis balls. I'm not chained to the internet.
If I'm really spoiling for a fight then I go full on Don Quixote in my continuing wars against XML, ECMAScript, and yes, the useless wind turbines covertly promoted by the filthy fracking natural gas industry.
Yes, all my posts are about ME! Everyone should try it. I hate it when people talk sideways about things, like they are trying not to offend some invisible guy in the room, be it Bernie Sanders, Jesus, or the mythical voter sitting on the fence.
See you around!
