How resentful are you?

You’re question may be asking for more honesty than some people are currently capable of. If this was a safe space, I would be happy to give you my pov as a moderate, but it’s not, so I will give you a general answer.

I resent both the Reps and Dems for some of the current political climate. Inciting your party to be nasty to the other party, whipping the youth of the nation into a frenzy with misstated facts and fake news. It’s very disheartening to see everyone buying into the games DC is playing with this country.

Resentment is not a term I usually use for my feelings. I’ve been pretty lucky in life. There are traumatic things that have happened to me but they don’t have anything to do with politics. I think my political stances are more shaped by generosity and a sense of fairness than resentment.

I’m not but other peoples resentment factors into my life almost daily.

I resent being talked over, dismissed, denigrated, touched inappropriately, threatened, not paid as much, denied deserved opportunity and autonomy, for literally no other reason than I am a woman.
I really don’t have other resentments, I have been very fortunate in my life.

And yes, that resentment does,indeed, factor into my political decisions.

I try to let things go, and often run into people who hold grudges against me, and it takes a moment for me to adjust our interaction.

I resent my father for not teaching me Spanish, among many other things.

I resent that so many people move to Los Angeles. The traffic is unbearable.

What fuels my politics is my empathy and my belief in equity. I don’t vote out of resentment, I vote to try to legislate my politics and vote those in who would do the same.

I don’t feel any resentment at all and I have no reason to feel resentment. I have been very fortunate in life despite making mistakes.

I feel resentment at people who aren’t empathetic/are extremely judgmental.

I am resentful that many, many Americans don’t think that my life and the lives of 130 million other Americans like me are worth spending money to save. I’m resentful that people who have been luckier with their health think they have some kind of moral high ground, as if getting sick is a personal failing.

I’m resentful towards the people who have told me, countless times, that I am a thief for using the healthcare system. That if I can’t afford $700,000 in healthcare costs out of my own pocket, that I should just die, because it is wrong for me to use other people’s money.

I’m resentful that I get told how to feel on a regular basis. When I talk about these feelings, I get told that they’re not okay to have. I’ve been told that my experiences aren’t real, they didn’t happen, or if they did happen they don’t count for anything.

Yeah, I’m resentful. You would be too if you had my life experiences. So don’t tell me how to feel.

You talk politics here, and it seems a tremendous amount of resentment comes up! So you guys who aren’t resentful in how you vote or think about politics need to show it in the kind and “un-resentful” way that you talk to those you don’t agree with (Republicans vs Democrats).
