People working tirelessly, writing letters to Congress, donating time and money to organizations that advocate for their causes, organizing public events to get their message out in a rational and compelling way, voting strategically, etc. is how the democratic process works. That’s what gets legislation passed. So I agree with you, and it’s kind of funny to see it treated like a controversial point.
Show me to the loudest, most argumentative voices railing against perceived injustices on the internet (and in meatspace) and I’ll show you the people who are the least effective in bringing out the change they desire. In the last 5 years, the left has amassed a disproportionate number of these counterproductive millstones, and unsurprisingly, we are seeing the results of this in policy. Cause and effect.
