Hey all of you guys who stayed home. This is on you.

If you don’t vote, your opinion is worthless. You chose to sit out, so why would anyone want to listen to you?

Sure 1 federal judge putting country-wide moratoriums on any executive actions signed by Biden, and a republican congress that stymied every major bill is totally the fault of Biden and the Democrats.

There’s this nice little thing called OPSEC and talking about such things just makes you a target.

Oh so a person helps fix a problem they were part of, and for you that’s not enough.

God you people are so tiring.

Imagine telling someone you’re fine with queer people being killed at home, because you’re so entitled that you sat out to defend those people.

Who wanted a ceasefire? Harris.

Who wants to nuke Gaza. Republicans.

You: They’re both the same, I’m gonna stand in the corner and not stop the nuking of Gaza.

Enjoy that moral superiority when ICE comes and takes you away.

You have 2 fucking choices. Sitting out means you have no right to complain, because you supported the worst side.

They literally refuse to admit that an entire apparatus of a party wanting something, and then a handful of members wanting something of another party are not the same.

Then they have the gall to complain that the democrats didn’t personally promise them a pony and a unicorn so they didn’t vote.

If you’re so entitled you need to be personally courted to stand up against fascism then Idk what to tell you.

How many billions of dollars in student loan debt did Biden cancel? How much more would have been cancelled if the supreme court didn’t act in a blatantly partisan manner?

Yeah, I do hold them responsible. Shumer shouldn’t be in leadership and AOC should be on every high profile committee there is.

Not voting solves nothing. You know how you get more progressive legislation passed? By voting for the party that has progressives in it. That’s how. More democrats means more people like AOC. It doesn’t fucking matter if your personal rep is a god damned blue dog if it means there’s one less republican in congress.

You guys literally wouldn’t vote for someone who stood against this, and had many progressive policy goals.

You think you guys who sat at home are gonna pick up guns and fight? Lol.

I hope they have the day they voted for.

Simple as that. My empathy for those people is gone.

This shit is so fucking lazy.

Biden enacted plenty of progressive asks during his term. Harris outlined plenty of progressive asks in her campaign as well.

Just because it wasn’t 100% of what YOU personally wanted doesn’t mean it wasn’t good legislation.

Hope none of your family dies because of this, because if they do it’s on you, mr protest voter.

You have no idea what you’re talking about.

Banning homeless encampments is not fascism 101.

Oh cool.

For sure! I just hate that so many people have strong opinions on this shit then do nothing, don’t educate themselves on the problems at hand, and then acknowledge that people on the ‘other side’ of an issue have actual concerns that do need addressed.

I’d fucking love it if we had our homeless problem under control, and I firmly do believe we would if all the fucking red states would stop bussing THEIR problems here.

I’ve been in LA for 9 years and I’ve seen the changes that are taking place. Bike lanes are rampant on the west side, and they’re starting to come to places like Weho and others as well which is awesome. We’re expanding our subway lines, and things slowly are getting better. I wish we would take a big TVA style initiative, and make some dense public housing districts that were affordable, but that’s a HUGE endeavor.

I’d love to get involved with local stuff like that, but I’m currently in a new job, and don’t have much free time right now. =(

Another thing to think about here is that it’s only been about 4 months of this dipshit being in charge.

They are comparing what is happening now to other episodes of revolution or cultural rebellion that took (sometimes) decades to foment enough unrest to cause change.

People are doing things, and we’re pissed. But like, what can a person living in LA effectively do? We have blue reps in a blue state that is suing the government multiple times over multiple grievances.

Short of going out and getting kinetic there’s not much for people to ‘do’ yet.

Honestly I wish we had the balls to turn LA into New York West Coast Edition. I’m right by the Wilshire line being built, and I cannot wait to be able to take public transit from my place to LAX to Grand Central in NYC.

Thanks for giving a real answer and not jingoistic slactivism nonsense you see so many people spouting on here. <3

I’ll take a look at that video later when I have more time on my hands.
