Now bombard senators and reps about Palestine, the global South, Africa, Asia, and domestically, rent caps, grocery caps, single payer, comprehensive health, living wages, safe working and living conditions, fossil fuels, climate extinction, taxing TF out of the ultrawealthy and mega corps, chemicals out of food, water, air...

The person who made the image had a cause they cared about and did something about it. If you care about those causes you should absolutely do the same.

Otherwise you just sound like you're lashing out at people who are doing something about something, while you are doing nothing about anything.

By the way, how many of those causes have you called your representative about?

I'm active in my community and I'm sure my congressional representatives wish I'd move, as the ones I had prior.

It's odd how so many are quick to add their personal interpretations.

Right, it's not like that's what you immediately did in your first comment.

You also didn't answer the question as to how many of those causes you called your representatives about.

I asked that people be as passionate for things I've mentioned. Any one will do.

Every. Single. Issue.

No, you didn't. You've bombarded them with a long list of "whatabouts" that is only going to exhaust them, not move them to action.
