    Just try to tell them the parties are the same. I’ve been pilloried three times, they cut my balls off, and I’m set to be hung tomorrow at dusk.

      You’re ignorant or lazy if you cannot see the difference- even if it is a nuance . . .they are different. For easy reference just check the Internet for voting disparity between the parties. Give me your top 5 most important values and then see which party aligns with them. Most likely you will not be able to say - they are both the same when voting for or against the 5 values I hold in highest regard.

      Why are you defending the people with power to do something by attacking people who don’t have a fraction of that power and opportunity?

      Like seriously. Why are you defending them.

            I’m not the person who asked the first time but I am curious, I’m literally asking you what you’re doing other than yelling at the Internet.

        I’m not attacking anyone and I’m not defending anyone. I’m asking what the fuck people who say I’m not doing enough are doing. I’m doing what I can to help with the symptoms of this and protect the vulnerable people I know of, but I don’t think there’s much I can do about the actual ongoing coup but goddamn it I’ll try. A lot of my good friends are being hurt by this situation already and I can’t do all that much about it myself. I see a lot of posts complaining that nobody is doing anything about the situation coming from people who aren’t doing anything about the situation and asking me to do more than I am about the situation. I want the people who complain to be putting in some legwork or else not bemoaning that nobody else is.

        “Nobody is showing up to protests. Fucking liberals who think voting was enough.” Says the fella who has never been to a protest.

        “Won’t somebody do something?” Begs the person who has never called their reps.

        Etc… Insert your own example here.

        All I’m saying is that there’s a lot of complaining where there could be calls to action by people who aren’t doing much themselves. It hurts to have someone ask “yeah but what are you doing?” When people want to vent but I think maybe people should have that question at top of mind even if it makes venting less effective.

                  I have deep resent for you trying to act conciliatory and not following through with this acknowledgement. What’s on you? What did you read that I said? What did I quote? What was my criticism? You were a dick? That shit’s vapid. Show understanding. My time is limited and valuable.
