i think the value of this kind of poll is less "how did you vote" than "how do you even think about something like this"
usually I like answers to all be plausible depending on how one interprets the question or the options - Show replies

my great-aunt is living with us and has Alzheimers she had the most fascinating life -- grew up on a subsistence farm, lived through everything from WWII to computer revolution I wish every day she was up to more detailed conversations about her life

I’m 67 and in the past 5 or so years I’ve been quite conscious of having experienced several mini epochs from at least two perspectives each. I’m experiencing current events as simultaneously horrifying, galvanizing/freezing by turns, fascinating, and—fleetingly—exciting.

I always thought the way I understand life these days would insulate me from or elevate me above mood swings. Turns out that seeing them/seeing through them doesn’t preempt or negate the experiences I’m patterned to have and privilege. I’m just as *ing human & fallible as ever.

We do, though it's more helpful as life finding a way than in germane specifics. There are so many dynamics of safety, stability, money, reputation, exploitation between and among groups and individuals to begin with, then you throw in material conds, technologies, ideologies...

The one I'm familiar with that feels the most germane at the moment: my great grandparents weathered the Depression by being the maintenance man and the cafeteria lady at a small govt outpost in a rural area. They just did their stuff and kept their heads down and they were fine.
