Don’t you think it’s quite ironic that the subject I’m trying to avoid is being discussed in this post?

    Or. For consideration, they already know exactly how they intend to vote after having done all the research they feel they need to and want to come to social media to be distracted from the world and it’s problems.

    No one, including those groups you mentioned, should have to deal with a 24/7 onslaught of the emotional and mental stress that news can put in people. Being aware and having avenues of rest and relaxation is incredibly important.

    Meanwhile there’s you somehow seems to be terminally online and trying to give some shit because they would like to not feel depressed and anxious. I suggest you consider stepping away from the Internet and touching some moss. Sounds like you need it friend.

      The person you responded to literally said “ignore all those things without it mattering”, citing how it does, in fact, matter to some people.

      If OP wants to unplug, fine, but as the saying goes, this isn’t an airport - you don’t need to announce your departure, or in this case, filtering of such posts.

      By making this post, OP has upped the ante, in a potentially insensitive manner, whereupon their privileged status (presumably white and if not well-off then at least not very poor - or possibly not even living in the USA:-P) was brought up as being relevant. At least people are explaining, rather than merely downvoting.

      That’s not at all how the person I was replying to phrased it. They said it didn’t matter for anyone at all ever

      That’s what I take far more issue with
