I'm sorry that you have to live with so much anger. I would love it if governments world-wide could all be changed so that all people had enough. My response is to tithe my time, money, and abilities toward that end and to vote for those who seem like they will intend what is best for all people. Then I give 1) thanks for all the people …

My response is to tithe my time, money, and abilities toward that end and to vote for those who seem like they will intend what is best for all people. Then I give 1) thanks for all the people whose compassion leads them to try doing what's good and 2) somehow tolerate my short-comings and those of others. It'll never be a perfect world.
Here we go again with the perfect is the enemy of the good meme. It’ll never be a perfect world… Really?…. Wow!…. Who knew?
You say you intend to vote for a candidate intending what is best for all people. Happy to see you will be voting for a third-party candidate this cycle, as neither duopoly candidate has that intention, despite what they might say.
I live with so much anger because there is so much to be angry about; just channeling the bumper sticker messaging of if you’re not outraged, you’re not paying attention. I pay attention more than most, certainly more than either the Trump cult or the VoteBlueNoMatterWho cult in this particular comments forum.
Don’t be concerned, or sorry, about the anger. The first quarter century of my life was spent under authoritarian rule (dysfunctional abusive father/military), but the positive things coming out of the madness were finely honed skills of both observation and compartmentalization, and a love of reading. Compared to most of the world, I live a comfortable, happy life.
But I will call out hypocritical, abusive, duplicitous, mendacious behavior that puts the interests of monied interests and donors above working people and the poor wherever I see it, and that includes when those traits come from tribal darlings here like Joe Biden and Tony Blinken. The real question is, why aren’t more here angry with them?
If one can’t be critical of genocidal complicity, what kind of moral compass does one possess?
