People like you are why the Democrats don’t even bother trying, too wrapped up in their own sense of self-righteousness to do anything that might shift the status quo:
First, I must confess that over the past few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen’s Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to “order” than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: “I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action”; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man’s freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a “more convenient season.” Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection.
I had hoped that the white moderate would understand that law and order exist for the purpose of establishing justice and that when they fail in this purpose they become the dangerously structured dams that block the flow of social progress. I had hoped that the white moderate would understand that the present tension in the South is a necessary phase of the transition from an obnoxious negative peace, in which the Negro passively accepted his unjust plight, to a substantive and positive peace, in which all men will respect the dignity and worth of human personality. Actually, we who engage in nonviolent direct action are not the creators of tension. We merely bring to the surface the hidden tension that is already alive. We bring it out in the open, where it can be seen and dealt with. Like a boil that can never be cured so long as it is covered up but must be opened with all its ugliness to the natural medicines of air and light, injustice must be exposed, with all the tension its exposure creates, to the light of human conscience and the air of national opinion before it can be cured.

People like you are the reason we’re here- excusing all inaction. Great job.
You’re still at this? Pathetic.
And who is punishing someone? I’m asking you to simply assign some blame to those responsible- nonvoters.
If that is “punishing” someone, then you yourself are “punishing” Democrats for their failure to garner more votes.
So moronic.
I came across an image that reminded me of our conversation and figured you might benefit from its wisdom.
The only point of blame is to demand punishment. That’s what you’re asking for.
And they have already punished themselves, as evidenced by the fact that they don’t hold the presidency right now.
Thanks for wasting mine and yours time. Blocked.
I’m literally here telling you to stop playing the blame game and go do something, and you’re getting mad at a random stranger on the internet.
Physician, heal thyself.
