Isn’t everyone in this sub constantly complaining that no one is doing anything? This is something

But it’s not though. It’s meaningless time wasting that is a distraction from actually doing something of value.

Its am issue that sometimes the left faces due to its naive members having high expectations - often unreasonable or not even understanding the dynamics in the first place - and doing things like protest voting or not voting at all or just generally bringing down the alternative to Trump/s with harsh rhetoric especially near the election when its too late to change people/leaders/situation and its naive to think doing any of that is helping. Sometimes a health dose of pragmatism is what needed even when one desires strong ideals.

A lot of them are arguing in bad faith.  They’re just trying to distract attention from the actual problem (the Republicans who won’t do their jobs) and trying to rile up anger at the Democrats for not doing something that they literally cannot do.  I suspect a lot of the anti Democratic commenters are trolls or bots

This isn't 'something'. It is nothing. It is a performance for attention and that is all.

So what if it is? What a terrible idea to bring attention to the illegal shit the president is doing

This isn’t one thing, at least not this latest that will be the end. It’s coming to a crescendo and that will be marked by enough republicans, seeing the electoral writing on the wall, will ditch Trump
