    Their job is to work within the set of laws we have set up for them. Their job is not to protest, rebel, engage in civil disobedience, etc.; that’s our job. I’m tired of this sentiment that, by being an elected public official in a democratic system, we should also expect them to be martyrs for that system. That is a form of slacktivism. Cut it out. Go protest.

      lol. They could at the very fucking least say something stronger than “I’m disappointed”. Also, let me know when holding up signs works good enough to stop a fascist regime.
