    Yes, because democracy is something so abstract that people have absolutely nothing to do with it. So what can they do except for watching it fall?

        This relatively new account is either some kind of troll, or having a difficult time reading the room around here. I’m starting to recognize the username without a tag.

        There are so many steps between doing nothing and murdering people in the streets. This kind of all or nothing thinking is part of the problem. Stop using it as an excuse to watch your freedoms taken from you.

      They are doing something. The problem is that there are also other people, very powerful people, working against them.

      I imagine you’re the kind of person who, if they watched sports, would be saying, “Why don’t they just score more points and win?”

        Cartoon is about those people who don’t.
        Please refrain from addressing me while speaking with your inner thoughts. I have no idea what are you talking about and what arguments you have in your head.

          The person in the comic is making a snarky comment to another person on the phone to show their disapproval. It may not be much, but it is something. After reading your other comment, I wasn’t expecting much from you, but I still thought any person with at least toddler-level intelligence would have the capacity to tell the difference between “something” and “not something.”
