Their job is to work within the set of laws we have set up for them. Their job is not to protest, rebel, engage in civil disobedience, etc.; that’s our job. I’m tired of this sentiment that, by being an elected public official in a democratic system, we should also expect them to be martyrs for that system. That is a form of slacktivism. Cut it out. Go protest.
lol. They could at the very fucking least say something stronger than “I’m disappointed”. Also, let me know when holding up signs works good enough to stop a fascist regime.
I know that you know that I’m right, and neither of us actually expect the slacktivist circle jerk to stop. Just please don’t ever use that, “let me know when holding up signs works” line again, that shit is brain dead and is how we got here to begin with.
Best our leaders can do is… be disappointed.

No, like I said before, I don’t think you’re right at all. To be called brain dead by you means absolutely nothing.
