How are you still making this argument? I hope you're a bot, because if that's a human brain behind these words that's depressing.
Voting-oriented do nothing liberals are just waiting with their thumbs up their asses for one more chance to vote for the "lesser evil" Democrats who are worse than the "greater evil" Republicans of 20 years ago.
I don't want to hear any more complaints from liberals until they fucking get out in the streets and actually take meaningful political actions that matter. Voting is nothing now, don't you see? If enough of you cowards joined the left in being anti-genocide, if enough of you joined protests and riots and strikes and actual direct action, if enough of you considered voting to be the bare minimum and not the entirety of your civic duty, then and only then would we actually see any improvement.
I'm sick of hearing about how people didn't vote properly. get the fuck out there and take real action. If not now, when?
You're the people standing idly by and enabling the greatest evils. You're the ones future generations will be asking about when they say "why didn't anyone do anything?"
Nobody is going to talk about a minority of leftists choosing not to vote pro-genocide. They're all going to be talking about do nothing cowardly Democrats watching their country go to shit because voting is the only thing they consider political action.
Stop punching left. Join us on the left and punch back. You fucking idiots.
The only answer of the DNC and their apparatchiks every time their 1992 strategy fails:
Looking good on that soap box. Time to run, I think.
Keep running, that's my point. You're useless now and will be for at least 4 years. Leave the work to the grown ups
Edit: Oh my God I think he means running for office. He literally can't imagine political action outside of elections. Libs gonna lib.
A Senate term is 6 years. Before a run it might be good for the grown ups to check the particulars.
This is barely relevant, was it worth licking the cheeto dust off your fingers?
Sure, if you say so. The wait is up to you.
