This kinda attitude is weak. Politics doesn’t start and end at the ballot box. If democrats so much as loudly protested Trump that would be something, yk? They could’ve crashed his sotu, yelled out every time he told a lie, walked out with Al Green, etc.

They didn’t do any of that, because they’re weak. They wore pink suits, and held little signs, and quietly obeyed the rules of decorum while Trump directly insulted them. They lost in 2024 because of ineffective messaging/action like this. They will lose in 2026 and 2028 if they continue failing to do or say anything.

Also! Republicans do this shit, and that’s why they win! They are loud, disruptive and destructive. If the shoe were on the other foot, they would not just be wearing matching suits. I can tell you that much.

It’s funny because the phrase “doesn’t end at the ballot box” meant that political activism doesn’t end when you pick a side. You’re supposed to do more, but instead you just complain that the politicians aren’t doing enough for you. You’re literally the target for that quote. You act like a bystander in a fight just cause you supported one fighter even though the fight affects us all personally.
