i dont know how to explain to people that because they didn’t vote for Democrats to control the Senate, Democrats dont control the Senate. And therefore they dont get to do the things the Senate does, like pass stimulus bills and remove postmasters general. And a lot of those people are saying “how dare Democrats try to compromise with Republicans instead of just forcing their agenda” and the answer is…you put the Republicans in charge. And then those people say, “well surely there has to be a way to stop the gutting of the USPS and the eviction of millions of people, why cant democrats just tell us what to do?” And the answer is, you needed to vote in 2016, the election we all said at the time was the most important election in history. And barring that, since it’s in the past and all, vote in 2020 and hope your vote counts now.

You aren’t going to get the world you want by refusing to participate in the world you have.

Holy shit.
