I agree on all counts - including that Kbin is probably the most aggravating site I’ve ever used. I’ve never had so many problems with any social media site before.

I think we do agree on most everything, I absolutely agree with your comments about January 6th. I don’t think that random acts of vandalism and violence like that do anything to help anybody - if anything, it actually showed people the real face of American extremism and how bad things can get when we encourage violence.

To me, anyone who wants to take a good honest swing at doing something good to protect our democracy needs to get out and vote, and encourage everyone they know to do the same. Honestly, the big problem we have is that many people just think “well my vote doesn’t matter,” so a large segment of them do nothing.

They say that all that has to happen to allow evil to flourish is for good men to do nothing. To me strength and “toughness” come from being intelligence and listening to each other and working against the idea that it’s OK to act like a spoiled brat if things don’t always go your way.
