Anybody Else Just Tired Of It All ???
Whether we're talking about future candidates/elections...
Future wars...
Future Climate collapse...
Future collapse of the middle/working class...
And the always wonderfulness of being insulted/lied too in the process...
I'm not sure I can play "fair" anymore..
Yet you will get on your knees for the idiot in chief no matter how many times he lies to you.

1. I think it is outrage, disgust and heartbreak fatigue
it is very debilitating
Tailpipe,hose,locked garage=solution.

7. Skilsz, Skittles. I remember my first reply to you back in the Bush days.
It was about hope, not drama.
Not to say that drama isn't useful.
Actually it was more about Skittles, literally, I wonder if you recall the exchange.
Getting hit on by a queer will tend to stick in ones mind.

17. Reminded of a moment.
Imagine a teacher keeping a list and publishing it.
Caught being good.
This, among juvenile hall kids. I have fought battles with reformers and deformers and have the almost unique characteristic of having actually been a teacher.
I know....
Amazing what DU members don't know about their DU community neighbors.

19. Thank you, friend!
My very early exchange with the DU member Skittles had to do with an extrinsic reward used with my wards, students, victims.
Skittles, one Skittle for any response. Crazy, right?
Caught being good? WTF is that for a classroom full of delinquents, right?
Skippy seems to be on some good weed.

47. Yes, I've been sinking into silly computer games lately
because the country is making me so angry, sad and tired, all at the same time.
There is always a job to take your mind off...nevermind,you had one until raiding the drug cabinet.

5. I am indeed. And after watching the PBS Roosevelts
humanity seems like endless groundhog day. Same bullshit, different era. The inherent flaws of human beings - greed, power, hypocrisy, you name it - seem to trump things every time.
But we seem to be at a particular point where we are no longer capable of big ideas, big successes, big collaborations. Could you imagine a moon landing mission/objective finding success if it was up to funding/agreement these days
Probably because of all you deadbeats that just want a sofa and government check.

39. Yes
I'm so tired of it all that I'm not answering my phone because I don't want to answer polls, and I'm afraid the candidates want me to volunteer to make calls, which I HATE. I've made contributions, I'm going to vote, but that's it for me this year. My candidates never win anyway, so there's not much I can do about it.
All your candidates are belong to us.

51. I just don't care anymore. The country is crumbling.
Critical thinking is gone. Just a bunch of reactionary impulses make up the flabby American psyche.
You see it here all the time and we are supposed to be the intellectuals.

A little hint DUmbasses,this is what happens when you live a life determined that happiness comes from a government giving you stuff rather then finding meaning and satisfaction in taking care of yourself.
Just crawl into a ball and cry yourselves to death.
