    Oh goody, one good thing could happen anywhere while a million bad things could happen a million times in a million places.

    You’re not gonna trick me into having hope over one dumb mayoral election. We’re too fucked for that to make a difference.

      Fine, give up on hope universally. Just do it less vocally.

      (That is to say, shut up)

      Hope does not mean blind hope. It does not mean you will always win. It means knowing that you can

      Always try. No matter how hopeless it seems, you always have the possibility to win a seemingly impossible fight. This a shining example of overcoming and winning big

      Giving up is a guaranteed loss. That is what they want us to do. Never give in

        Politics is one of those claw games where they rig it to barely be able to win. Just enough that you keep shoving quarters into it, but not so much that you get something you actually want.

        Except I’m forced to play and get berated when I say it’s a stupid game designed to frustrate you.
