I think this is a pretty pointless distinction, but sure, here’s a convenient nine-year-old ready list for your reference, ordered best to worse:
A person actively protesting, sabotaging and working politically against the current administration > A crusty sock I’ve forgotten I’ve left behind my bed after a gym session > Person voting for a democrat > Person not voting > Person voting for a Republican > Person voting for Donald Trump > Hitler
Is it not possible that the capitalist system we work under makes it very difficult for many people to protest, either through working them so hard that they have no energy, or no time, or makes it harder for them to get work or even keep their jobs to survive if they openly oppose the establishment, eg on social media?
Are these oppressed people truly worse in your eyes than a crusty sock?

When was history ever easy? What exactly did you expect, to induce change by tweeting angrily? Is the difficulty more important than the lives being lost?
Either way, not sure how that’s an answer to my comment. There are a thousand different ways to fight that aren’t simply sharing a perfectly rehearsed AOC rebuttal that is precisely long enough to make for a viral TikTok video designed by a PR team and then feeling like you’re different. You are not. Voting for a party is not the end of your civic duties, nor does it make you opposition if that’s the end of your actions.
The children? No.
The dead weight “opposition” that does nothing but complain online? Yes. Blood is in your hands too.
Just to be clear, which do you condemn more? Those who voted for Democrats or third party, or those who refused to vote altogether?

Depends on who they voted for.
Depends on their actions now.
A worker got fired from Ford for having more courage than most. Hopefully gofundme will unblock all his donations.
