      I’d really love it if, instead of them suffering, we could just get everyone to stop suffering.

      We focus way too much on the “people getting what they deserve” aspect of politics and then it consumes our rhetoric to a point where we overcorrect and put more effort towards punishing bad things than building good things.

      What? The poll said 86% of Republicans strongly or somewhat approve of Trump right now.

      I’m still sad anyone would even vote for that goon. I truly worry for my countrymen who voted for him, they’re naive, dumb or full of incredible hate and malice - none of which is good.
