But tell them they are talking to people all wrong and suddenly we are all Russian bots, or trolls, or secretly Trumpers

This bit is generally in response to the fact that the only time this rhetoric is heard is right before an election. Where was this talk and push for change the last four years? Where were the mass protests when Biden was in office and might have listened to a shutdown? Or at any point when the world wasn't staring down the barrel of a new hitler?

You can want positive change from your own political party while also acknowledging that they are still standing on higher ground than an actual Nazi. Time and a place for each.

We just get ignored cause it isn't a problem for liberals until elections.

I kept protesting, I kept saying the same thing. Lots of other people too! I even tried to get into political positions and worked with others in them to be told no and still constantly ignored.

Just cause you are ignorant to the conversation and the work still going on and only hear about it cause it's an election and you are paying attention does not make it our faults.

No liberals wait until it's the brink of disaster and complain that it's everyone else that didn't do enough to make you stop and pay attention while the whole time liberals constantly tell everyone to pipe down and not make a fuss.

How dare you blame us for not doing more. You want to see the failure of the system look in a mirror and stop blaming those of us screaming to desperately get anything done.
