I know, I get it. Echo chambers are bad m’kay?

But hear me out. Most of the interactions I had on there were essentially me fighting against the news for about 11 years. Most of the people I argued with were reactionary and repeated everything on TV. It was frustrating and it was awful.

I gained little insight into what was going on by interacting with them, and in retrospect, I could’ve been no better off here. And honestly, I feel less on edge about current affairs being around people who get it. I’m one degree removed from crazy.

I’m glad there are spaces on the web where I can get away from all of that nonsense. So, I guess, in a sense, thank you for being here.

    I sorta feel bad about this because as the R has become worse my vote has been for the person without an R by their name and usually with a D near their name as its important R does not win. The good part I guess is I have been more focused on primaries and trying to get the best person in overall and will not vote based on the argument that this is the person best able to win the general.
