The more I look at the kind of messaging I see on this platform, the more I think maybe it isn’t great. It’s a lot of demotivating, depression-inducing, defeatist gloom and doom and far fewer calls to action than I remember seeing on other platforms in previous conservative administrations.

You are right that we ought to be posting less gloom. There is a lot of unhelpful rhetoric out there already, I've even seen 'sticking it out til the midterms' and that's not the kind of defeatist nonsense people need to hear.

As a Gloomy Gus myself I could do better about making this a brighter place to inhabit, you gave me something to think about.
