Can’t find my way back to believing in you .. your move to politician and commenting on has led me to no longer following you - your voice is jaded

Tell me what you would prefer. That I pour pink paint over the wound and call that “staying positive?” That I ignore suffering and injustice and call it “being spiritual?” Were the Biblical prophets “jaded?”

There needs to be an indi news channel on cable network, a netflix show or something too it is insane how much the MSM just crushed progressives and continue to do so by silencing your views
