How do you guys cope with the fact that the world isn't getting any better?
I'm really worried about the state of the US despite being a white male who was I'll coast right through it. I'll also accept "I don't" and "very poorly" as answers

Did you call your congress critters yet
Ah right, scream into the void and get ignored because I'm not a multimillion dollar donor. Forgot to waste my time, no I have not.
Do you have any more useful suggestions or is void talking all im allowed to do now or get shouted down with "you haven't done enough" bullshit?
I guess perhaps I'm just disenfranchised in which case, nothing systematic is gonna help.
Guess I'm the doomer after all.
Congresspeople have people where it's their job to keep a count of incoming contacts to gauge the opinion of their constituents. Where wealthy donors have undue influence is when Congresspeople directly contact them to ask for campaign donations. There's a limit of a few thousand dollars, but part of that is that Congresspeople just tend to hear a lot about rich people problems. It's not that they only care about wealthy people, it's that they're hearing from them more. You contacting them helps counterbalancing that undue influence.
It's not a void, it's a telephone, get a hold of a fucking staffer and make it their problem. You're lazy and unhinged about it. Read what you said back to yourself.
Nearly every piece of legislature is tailored to the desires of the wealthy. Politicians ignore the cries of the public in favor of donors. If you want change, set things on fire. Preferably their and their donors houses.
All I'm saying is try before you get yourself killed committing what will go down as a terrorist attack
