You should really tie your feelings to something else than politics. Harris-Walz may be less worse than Trump-Vance, but they will make plenty decisions for big companies against people. So I wouldn't call them positivity for the world. Just maybe less catastrophic. But there are plenty of reasons to be positive about the world. Technological progress saved in all ages more peoples lives than any political ideology and I see few reasons to think it will stop now. Think alone the saved lifes through vaccines or better food growing techniques. As long as technology progresses it may be a stony path to bring these advancements to the people, but ultimately it will happen. So that is something to be positive about. Follow more science news, there are exciting developments all the time! For instance have you ever heard about Dark Oâ‚‚? Google it (or search on Youtube, I consume a lot of science content on Youtube). That is such an exciting new discovery. Science news always bring me enjoyment. |
What else is there other than politics?! 
Nah, I know, I tend to regard myself as a positive person who tries to look for the silver lining in things, Lol. So yeah, I know there's a lot of positive things in the world still, I love technology advancements (and nature) and I do very much agree that we're far better off today than we were in the 90s, 80s, etc. I even looked at that other thread on here and had a chuckle to myself internally, laughing to myself at how negative some of the predictions for the future were, Lol.
Largely though I do believe that Harris-Walz will not only be far better for Americans (minorities, women, LGBTQ+) and the environment than Trump-Vance but also far better for the wider world, I know they will do shit things too, every government does but I know progress isn't a straight line to the top, it's often bumpy, hence why I'm not one of those "they all suck, don't vote for any!" types of people.
Not everything will be fixed, the UK is in a pretty bad state right now, the Israel-Hamas war will still continue, the Ukraine-Russia war will still continue which I've followed every single day for over 2 years now and I have a lot of anger towards Biden for certain aspects of his handling of that (slowness, timidness, etc). But I fully believe Harris-Walz will be 100x better than the shitshow of Trump-Vance and will be some extra positivity. For foreign matters, once this election is over with I'm turning my attention largely back over to Ukraine, hopefully with America heading in the right direction rather than sliding backwards 100 steps. It'll be one less thing to worry about, Lol.
Science news brings me enjoyment too.
