Everyone's blaming social media for political polarization but it wasn't hard to curate a Twitter timeline that avoids that. So now I'm getting politics shoved down my throat by dating apps, sports leagues, universities, media companies, and a fucking expense management company.
I despise this so so much. It's not serving any goal other than hate and division and a few people's sociopathic political promotion. And maybe this is biased by where I live, but 100% of it is coming from the establishment left.
Now this has nothing to do with how Biden or Trump will perform as presidents, or what laws the Senate may pass etc. "To own the libs" is a terrible motivation for voting, or for anything else. I'm trying to fight this impulse in my soul.
But they're making it really hard.

"but our democracy and freedom are at stake..."
What could be more of an authoritarian dystopia than a world where every single interaction with another person or business is part of an endless ever-spiraling war of political signaling that you can't escape?
