bullying senators is good. if you think that somehow conflicts with the belief that the powerless should be shielded from harm, I'm not sure how to get you to understand that a US Senator blocking relief to millions is not some random lost child.

"But you didn't like the Jan 6 riots!"

Yes, there's a distinct difference between demanding answers from someone at an inconvenient time and executing them. Thanks for playing.

If you show open contempt for the constituents you're supposed to be serving then you should have to answer to them. Do I feel sorry for someone who waltzed in and did a cutesy pose while voting "No" on a minimum wage increase bill?

Nah. Welcome to being a civil servant.

"B-but you wouldn't feel the same way if it happened to (insert random left-wing senator I'm supposed to give a shit about)"

If they were screwing over millions of disenfranchised people they can get fucked too. I don't simp for politicians, even when they're "on my side".

And guess what? I woulda supported the Jan 6 riots if they were storming the capitol for a good cause (police brutality, government corruption, wealth inequality, etc.)

But no, it was for the stupidest reason imaginable. You wasted your insurrection on fucking TRUMP.

I support direct action if its for a righteous cause. Sinema's entire job in the senate is to be a spoiler for progressive bills. She is funded by corporations for this specific purpose. She refuses to speak to the public. So now the public will come to her.

I'm just so tired of right-wingers trying to paint this as some epic case of hypocrisy by bringing up trans people being assaulted in restrooms as if that's in any way equivalent. You're utter scum if you use transphobic attacks as some "gotcha".
