I think I’m having a bit of an autistic burnout moment over politics. I’m moving a lot more left over the years but just don’t feel like I can do anything. I have 2 years left on a work contract and it would be killer to lose that job, but also I want to help people in ways where quitting might be the best option. I want to learn about politics and history more, but I also don’t want to stress about it because I don’t feel like it changes things that much. Id like a community that talks about these feelings and I feel like this should be that community for me. Let’s just chat about it.

    All I can say, your not alone. I know my wife and I struggle with how much to be involved. We were going to pass on this years political process… we are in a caucus state. But in the end we did go and then to two conventions because we felt it was important.

    Not saying I have any answers. I find remembering “doing something is better then doing nothing”, meaning things do not have to be perfect. My wife and I are both kind of perfectionists.
