Welcome to politcal memes!
These are our rules:
1) Be civil
Jokes are okay, but don’t intentionally harass or disturb any member of our community. Sexism, racism and bigotry are not allowed. Good faith argumentation only. No posts discouraging people to vote or shaming people for voting.
2) No misinformation
Don’t post any intentional misinformation. When asked by mods, provide sources for any claims you make.
3) Posts should be memes
Random pictures do not qualify as memes. Relevance to politics is required.
4) No bots, spam or self-promotion
Follow instance rules, ask for your bot to be allowed on this community.
5) No AI generated content.
Content posted must not be created by AI with the intent to mimic the style of existing images

So everyone in America is a 41 hour drive from DC?
Everyone in America has local politicians that are on the "right side of history"?
Like maybe you can argue you personally have an excuse for not doing anything, but the entire country? Millions of people live near enough to DC to shut the city down with a mass protest. In my country people traveled for like 6 hours to protest on a days notice.
Won't happen in the US because, like I said in the other post, people have no savings, are living paycheck to paycheck, and can't take time off work for such things.
More American exceptionalism
