Please show grace for any mistakes, writing this in suboptimal conditions and frankly don't feel like proofreading until I have a PC to access.

Same, lol

I just don't see a need to get this wound up over some dude running for office that had some great platform planks. Can't we just be optimistic for once? And if we can't, how about offering ways to mitigate the potential damage from this guy being a disappointment?

I want more revolutionary optimism around here, less nerding out over books, and more plain language instead of trying to talk like we're in a Parliament in 1870

I mean, I agree and sometimes the lines between genuine analysis and doomerism are blurred but most of the doomerism isn't even based in theory at all and just vaguely references it from like 3rd-hand accounts from what I've seen. It's just another way we lib-it up in here
