      You can either try to nudge it towards the better asshole or you can whine about it or whatever

      for a second I thought you had it, but then you landed on the wrong note.

      I was looking for ‘you can try to nudge them toward the better policy’, but people here are either so black pilled that they don’t see a point in trying or they believe that democrats doing the right thing (even just not doing the evil thing) will certainly cost them an election. I think the latter perspective is the most black-pilling opinion i’ve ever seen, and possibly the best argument i’ve ever seen against liberal democracies at all.

          I appreciate the acknowledgement, but i’m of the opinion that politicians don’t respond to cold calls and emails, but do respond to relentless bad press.

          But so long as I can do both at the same time, i will continue doing so.

          A thought just occurred to me that I could send the memes directly to their offices…
