      I find myself seeking out non-doomer people to read, since the doom and gloom doesn't really help, it's just demotivating. "Look for the helpers" and all that.

      This outlet has some good things from time to time, like https://www.liberalcurrents.com/we-are-going-to-win/

      That said, yeah this is really bad.

      To me, debunking hype has always felt like arguing with an advertisement. A good read about that: https://www.liberalcurrents.com/deflating-hype-wont-save-us/

      If Americans would like to better understand what it is that they actually did last year: https://www.liberalcurrents.com/killing-for-content/

      https://www.liberalcurrents.com/the-reconstruction-papers/ is explicitly aiming to be a Project 2028 book for the left.
