For most of my adult life I worked for politicians - both on their campaigns and in government. My advice? Tune it all out. Why? One of the most effective campaign strategies is to exploit people's fears. Watch a debate. Listen to talk radio. All you hear is how bad things are and how worse they are going to be - unless you vote for (insert candidate name here.) I know be an informed voter is the right thing to do. But for me, tuning it out has been a big part of my recovery. I guess the question you need to ask after listening to a debate is "Do I feel better of worse about things?" I prefer to just avoid it all the best I can (listening to classical music instead.)
