(11,833 posts)& then getting further out of my bubble. Yelling & screaming at people on social media isn't any way to win anything. When you drink too much haterade you're just poisoning yourself.
Loosen up the reigns of the democratic party. Actively bring many more young people in. Bring them in to leadership positions. I don't hate on older people. But the learning curve for younger people is quicker and they have so much to offer. Give them opportunities much faster. Watch them grow the democratic party.
Stop dehumanizing people by using terms like rethugs, repugs, etc. Listen to every person, especially to those who may disagree with you. Otherwise, you become the thing that you dislike in others.
Watch less cable 'news.' It's not news. It's garbage. Spend less time on social media. Read more books. Enjoy nature more. Be the change you want to see achieved. Stop alienating everyone who isn't living in your bubble.
