Eh, it's a lot like reddit.

Two thirds of the rabid ones here are keyboard socialists. They type a good game, know all the stock phrases, but when it comes to actually doing shit, well, touching grass is scary.

They stay inside and rant and rave about how things SHOULD be while we are out there actually making the incremental changes to try to bring it about.

Then they post and pat themselves on the back for saying we're not doing enough.

It's very clear that this is every bit the senseless, thoughtless, reactionary, pathetic echo chamber that t_d was, just with red flags instead of red hats.

Thank you all for helping me to realize that so quickly.

Phonebanking for Biden doesn't count as doing shit btw

Exactly why I've been phone banking for Hilary since 2016. We will overcome. ✊
