When people are concerned about others freaking out, sometimes that is valid, especially in a crisis or potential crisis.
Someone yelling "all is lost" immediately signals A) they are not ready to help, B) they probably can't be convinced to help, and C) they want to convince you there's nothing to do.
It's very toxic because it tells you that people aren't going to help, work together, etc. They're going to freak out.
I think part of trauma-dump culture has made this far worse.
Noted Historian, Professor Alan Lichtman calling out the media for not pushing back on lies and using polls irresponsibly.
'Debates are not predictors of who wins elections. Hillary Clinton and John Kerry won their 3 debates and Obama had a worse post debate poll performance than Biden.'
Media definitely needs to do better.
I checked the news. I am now seeing many a breathless story about the Biden campaign, all touting insider information.
All in conflict.
We're in another Fanfic Phase of the news.
Funny how they never do the same to a felon and rapist who nearly got Congress killed.
Let's not forget that. It's time these presstitutes are confronted.
If this guy doesn't make you run out and vote Blue all the way down, I don't know what will.

The president of the ultra-conservative Heritage Foundation, which is behind Project 2025:
"We are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be."
Wow. Since the debate CNN sure have turned into Fox 'News' lite. Actually thinking about replacing the @BreakingNews feed with another provider.
Here's the thing to understand. You vote Democratic as they're better than Republicans. Believe me, there's a lot of nose-holding
You don't vote for Biden, you vote Blue. Trust me, of the Democrats I voted for I wouldn't be inviting them all to dinner.
Right now our hope is getting our shit together, vote blue no matter who, and no bed wetting.
If Biden IS too old I will personally weekend at bernies his old ass so we don't get president Trump. Gimme the marionette strings.
