Absolutely consumers.
No other personality traits.
Just consumption with selected aesthetics.

I feel like in our position as a representative democracy, being sure that your elected representatives know well your desires is exactly what this system asks of us..?

"Complaining about your leaders" is necessary but not sufficient, is I guess how I would put it.

Tbh I think a big reason alot of activists target Dems specifically is they are scared of protesting Republicans and not scared of protesting Dems.

Getting people to blame his opponents for not making his shit stop may be Trump’s most potent political skill. A decade we’ve been dealing with this.
