    So, “They’re pandering to the wrong people; I want them to pander by doing different useless symbolic actions.”

    About what I figured.

      no no, you misunderstand me: i want AOC to literally beat the shit out of her coworkers in order to prevent Trump from sending another fucking child with cancer out of this country or a legal resident to El Salvador never to return

      is that clear?

        Okay, how will AOC ‘beating the shit’ out of GOP Congressmen stop ICE from deporting children?

          oh it wouldn’t! see, that’s the cool part. i wasn’t saying that act alone would solve anything but that it would be a physical act carrying significant personal risk, which is something people haven’t seen from our politicians: personal risk. they have never stood to lose a goddamn thing.

          i genuinely believe if our Congress was more violent and chaotic then more and more Americans would rally together and do something regarding the ICEs of our government

            So you agree with my comment you originally objected to. Good. Glad we’re in agreement.

              no you dumb fuck: this is a physical act that carries a symbolic significance. it means something because it exchanged something. there was weight behind that symbolism. it wasn’t just pointless and empty like the criticism often expresses. good try though. just fuck off and say you’re a coward and violence isn’t the answer blah blah liberal nonsense fuck you.

                “My useless symbolic action will make the masses Rise Up™, while THEIR useless symbolic action won’t!”

                👏

                just fuck off and say you’re a coward and violence isn’t the answer blah blah liberal nonsense fuck you.

                Sorry that I find the idea that Congressmembers brawling will help our situation at all risible.

                You want to use violence as the answer to this question, get real about it, not asking clerks and octogenarians to get into slapfights in the halls of Congress on your behalf in the strange hope that it’ll cause a mass uprising wherein you won’t have to lift a finger.
