    All I wanna know is what you’re doing to justify taking the moral high ground.

    Hmmm. Let’s see. I didn’t repeatedly vote to support an apartheid regime that is actively committing genocide. Democrats did. I didn’t cast the deciding vote to double child poverty overnight. A Democrat did. I didn’t vote against raising the minimum wage. 8 Democrats voted with Republicans to make sure the workers they hate continue to suffer.

    If all you do is post, you’re just noise.

    If I’m noise, ignore me.

    Do you participate in any kind of direct action? Do you volunteer?

    It’s not like anything I do will be enough for you. I’ve been down this road before. The reply is always an indignant “is that all?” You’re trying to shift blame from the elected officials and party leaders with whom it actually lies to one individual who has the temerity to criticize. If I’m not using every waking second and every penny I earn in a fruitless attempt to steer the party leftward, you will use that as an excuse to demand my silence regarding the rightward shift of a party that is hell bent on becoming the Second Republican Party.

    Are you advocating for anything, or are you just venting?

    You don’t care in any event; you just want permanent silence of all voices to the left of party leadership.
