That exchange happened right after the lib said we should all be sending emails to Bernie's office instead of posting about it here. I'd say this response was entirely called-for.

It's extremely condescending, that's why. It's the line libs jump to when they get sick of arguing with you and want an excuse to talk down to you.

And it's particularly insulting given that I have no doubt many of us did contact our various congresscritters. I called my two senators and single house rep in addition to calling Bernie's office, and it didn't make any difference, as anyone could have predicted it wouldn't.

I didn't contact my people because I'm not a moron so I know it's a waste of time.

My rep is fucking stefanik.

My Senators are Schumer and Gillibrand.

If I contacted any of them I'd get put on a list of terrorist sympathizers and have my name coincidentlly removed from the voter rolls for an 8th straight election.

Walking into the woods and literally screaming into the void would objectively be more pragmatic then calling them because at least I'd get to take an enjoyable walk and relive some stress in the process.

The lib response of contacting your reps and letting them know how you feel might as well literally be "write Santa and ask for a ceasefire for christmas"

Nobody telling you to write your congressman thinks it will impact anything they're just basically means testing your frustration saying unless you've wasted a bunch of time and energy doing pointless things you aren't allowed to make valid criticisms.

Being nice to these smug fuckers doesn't achieve anything. Might as well have a laugh at their expense and chase them off so we can go back to doing our thing.

What's the context?

[–] PM_ME_YOUR_FOUCAULTS@hexbear.net 41 points 2 years ago (1 children)

A lib going to bat for Bernard "Genocide" Sanders

[–] BurgerPunk@hexbear.net 30 points 2 years ago (1 children)

One of my favorite types of lib. The "I'm not disagreeing with you, even though i clearly am" + "but muh nuance" combo is always fun

[–] PM_ME_YOUR_FOUCAULTS@hexbear.net 17 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Oh nuance mmm I love nuance everything is soooooo nuanced

[–] nohaybanda@hexbear.net 3 points 2 years ago

What's weirder is it's a Bernie guy, too. Like even if Bernie was exactly the person he presented himself as (he wasn't... or we saw something that wasn't there), his message was not about nuance, right? Healthcare is a human right isn't a nuanced approach, it' very straightforward actually. It was all his detractors who were humming and hawing about how nuanced the issue is.
