So there’s really NOTHING that gives you joy? Friends? Family? Hobbies? Pets? A local park or museum? Games you play? Shows you go to? Something you volunteer for or see other people volunteering for? Etc?
How many of those quite a few are going to have to make their lives in a future where the U.S. is a totalitarian corporate oligarchy and climate change is making large parts of the Earth unlivable? Because they won’t be as happy then. Even if they vote in favor of it.

Enough to make my life good enough that I’m a generally happy person? No. Do you know any generally happy Americans that aren’t rich?
Your question was “what is there to be happy about?”
And yes, I do. Quite a few.

They won’t be as happy then, no.
Still, I was responding to the original question that seemed like it was pure, unrestrained despair instead of this one focused on specific problems.
Not everything is bad.
