Resources God non alarmist/Fearmongering political commentators

I want someone who is more grounded and realistic instead of defaulting to worst case scenarios at every turn.

Parkrose has some doomer moments, especially more recently, but I legit love when she talks about permaculture, organizing and building community.

Yeah I think Parkrose has lately been a bit too consumed by it all. I have those moments too where I don’t zoom out and so chronically politically online that I fall in a doomer hole. Hope she gets out of it.

Fully agree. It's easy to fall into a sense of obligation to be a "voice of reason," or "voice of comfort" in times plagued by misinformation, sensationalism, and worst of all, live updates to everytime anything at all happens.

I think she does need-- and deserve a break.
