Hear, hear. It is so stressful that this perfectionism is keeping people from engaging in the democratic process, especially when there is one clear choice for our country’s future. I hope people will get out of the social media echo chambers and at least cast a vote, bc the far right sure will.

100%. I agree. It's a real tragedy and I also hope we can avoid the worst from happening. I hope people realize how much is on the line instead of distancing from this moment with a degree of reckless privilege. Though I know some don't see it that way. Thank you so much for reading and engaging, Em!
