(7,609 posts)6. Not to be snarky but.....Everything is not fine, things are not going our way, most
if not all of it is beyond our control (gas prices, Ukraine War, Covid issues, SCOTUS decisions, congressional gridlock, gun worship, voter suppression) so is it better to pretend that "Everything is OK"?
Yes, it does cause frustration and it is real. This is one of the few places for me that I can come an express my frustration, give my opinions, and discuss with likeminded people the issues that cause me frustration. I literally do not know anyone except my wife and some phone friends that think like I do - sadly.

"Quit"? Really, that's an appropriate answer to a discussion on a Democratic discussion board?

I agree. I am a generally positive person, but I can't find much to be positive about these days
