Or, perhaps you would prefer "passive-aggressive."

What pisses me off about it, is that it's easy to fire off a move like this, and make a few waves.

So then, where the actual fuck have all the "waves" been with regards to single-payer health care? Or how about some serious "waves" for a $3 trillion infrastructure bill, to put 20 million people to work fixing the country?

Where are the statements which need to be shouted from the rooftops, again and again and again AND AGAIN AND AGAIN, until something of real worth gets done in this country?
