Lefties who are tired of election “panic”: what’s the alternative? When was the panic not warranted? I’m serious in my asking.

There are quite a few angles discussed here that I’m really glad to understand more about. Thanks a ton to everyone adding their 2 cents. Much appreciated

It’s not a question of warranted or not, it’s positioning. We can both agree X is bad, but if your entire messaging is X is bad then you aren’t really offering anything just stoking fears. If your messaging is “here’s why Y is better” that’s something positive that people can rally behind. Using panic and fear is lazy and exhausting, people are not supposed to be in a state of panic 24/7 but it gets headlines and donations so politicians fall back on it time and time again. It’s much harder to show what alternative you are offering, but that’s actually the good stuff. If your entire message is “the other guy sucks” then at some point people are going to realize you don’t actually have a message.

Depends on the person I guess. The consequences have become more stark since trump but they’ve always been there. I say organize if you like a candidate and vote regardless of who you vote for because our voices matter.

Gotta be careful of what is actually true and what media and the right say about who is in a panic. Most headlines are clickbait, but then people start to believe the clickbait.

I live in an ultra conservative district so even if I wanted to vote my vote wouldn't count, it's terrifying and freeing at same time

What is election panic? It makes me think of the Trumpies who get all riled up around the election and start threatening people because they're panicking, "roll coal" at people on bikes and stuff like that (like Selkis, reactionary). Leftists generally view election season as a time to gear up and hit the streets one way or another, in my experience. Plan, not panic, I guess.
