I have healthy boundaries and I know what works for me too. There have still been times when people telling me to get over myself, to have greater perspective and to toughen up has been compassionate and supportive and what I needed at the time.
The opposite is the case. And what are you thinking would happen if we just didn’t vote? That would just move things more quickly in the worst direction.
Who first came up with the idea that Dems would do better imitating Repubs as opposed to providing the American people with a strong contrasting alternative - and why should they still be in office?

Different circumstances call for different attitudes, obviously. But this is a moment in our culture when it feels to me like we need to coddle our pain a bit less at times. With our democracy as well as our planet pretty literally on fire, we've got to summon our strength now.
I hear you, but there are times when the most loving thing is to support someone - including ourselves - in claiming our strength even when we don't think we have it in us. Sometimes that's the truest form of support.
To you it does. To some people it's the reminder they need, in the same way that it has helped me at times to be reminded not to wallow. We all need to just be listened to at certain times, and at other times to be supported in standing tall. Life is all of that.
