So all the judges stopping his bullshit from passing is nothing? Along with the judges that overturn his bullshit, that’s nothing also? And Corey Booker’s 19 hour long (and counting) filibuster is nothing? What about all the people that actually VOTED to try and stop this from happening in the first place? Or the people that fucking warned you this would happen.

Nothing?

You all seem to have an odd definition of “doing nothing” that’s for sure. Maybe if you all… did nothing instead of staying home during an election we’d be in a much better place.

I voted in each primary, midterm, ballot and election - every chance I got. I was also one of the many who was warning that a shuffling corpse was a terrible candidate, that Harris wasn’t doing enough to differentiate from Biden in a meaningful way, and that constantly arming Israel’s genocide with our money was going to cost voter enthusiasm, swing states, and likely the election.

And here we are, still blaming voters. While Schumer folds on the CR or Jeffries refuses to whip votes - Pelosi at least ran a tight ship and wielded the House gavel. The Democratic leadership is waffling and waiting out for the midterms, where they’re hoping enough people are pissed off to flip the House/Senate. They’re willing to wait two years to act. Two years of deportations, two years of norms destroyed, two years of institutions gutted, allies snubbed, economic self-injury.

Can you wait two years on a political gamble? Can the country? When are we going to hold our political leadership to the fire and demand action?

Amen. At least half the voting public did something—showed up, voted, protested, filibustered, and fought every step of the way. Democrats and countless others have been in the trenches, blocking, delaying, and overturning what they can.

This meme? It does nothing. No encouragement. No solution. Just cynicism and blame. Maybe OP should take a long look in the mirror before calling everyone else out.

Not pictured are the "leftists" as they're all sitting around at home complaining about liberals.
