   I spent last night on my couch with a headache drinking water and watching videos. There are bigger wastes of time than voating. If you see a voat as an opportunity to make a useful difference, go with God and I hope you're right. However, shilling is the mindkiller.

     @yockeypuck indeed, voating isn't some magical "you get to make everything better" because sadly that's not how the world works.
     
     I think people pretending that democracy is sacred is near the foundation of the problems we currently have.
     
     Sadly, that isn't on the ballot.

     @Bunsen @yockeypuck Some things are sacred, but things made only from men are very very rarely such

     @sickburnbro @yockeypuck Nothing is sacred and anything can be destroyed.

     @sickburnbro @yockeypuck When I meant nothing is sacred, what I should have said was, "Anything can be desecrated."

     @Bunsen @yockeypuck Yes that's something quite different and I would say the more sacred something is, the more some people will look to desecrate it.
     
     Hence the abortion.

     @sickburnbro @yockeypuck It's a slog. We didn't get to where we are overnight, and can't get out that fast either unfortunately.

     @EvilSandmich @yockeypuck yeah. People always want a silver bullet, something where they can press a "fix this shit" button and be done. This isn't just conservatives or progressives either though. The whole current liberal obsession with fixing the Ukraine issue is an example of this kind of thought.

     @sickburnbro @EvilSandmich @yockeypuck fixing Ukraine is more like covering their tracks. to the average soccer mom who would pledge her life to Ukraine it's just propaganda poisoning
