bloomer
A place for optimism, relentless positivity, anti-doomerism, and snuggle sessions.
We're all in this together, and a better world is possible!
This is now also a space for organizing tips for our collective survival as we confront climate change and everything else. Still no doom-posting. We're here to work together, support each other, and boldly face the future.
Rules:
-
Familiarize yourself with the site-wide Code of Conduct
-
No doom, no gloom, only bloom. There's plenty of room for doomerism elsewhere. This community is solely for having a positive outlook on the future and spreading good vibes.
-
Be kind to your fellow users. This also means no arguing in the comm. Arguments and negativity are not conducive to blooming. Constructive discussion is good. No interest-policing. Support your comrades in their joy!
-
Always share good news. We can't exactly enforce this one, but if you have good news, please share it with us! Keeping happiness and positivity to yourself is the twelfth type of liberalism.

The primary is finally about to hit my home state and people are talking about doing an "uncommitted" campaign like our neighbors. Local org was debating whether to sign on. Pro position was standard local DSAish stuff. Con position was "voting at all legitimizes this genocidal regime".
I'm inside the "progressive death star" of this swing state that swung it from Trump in 2016 to Biden in 2020. It ain't happening. I'm sorry sweety genocide is unelectable.
I really don't see how voting for "I'm explicitly saying this is all horseshit" legitimizes voting.
If you don't vote theyll just ignore you, it's a lot harder to spin the fact that 20% of people voted for "go fuck yourself"
This has been proven over and over and over again; I can't believe it's still a topic of debate.
