Culture shift is a whole process. From the first oppressed people to stand up and be heard, all the way until you get the right leaders make the new laws that stop the oppression.
So I dont like separating the cultural touchstones from those years of votes. They're all a part of it

Stonewall did not in fact do more than 50 years of voting
we live in an age where a lot of people get exposed to base level knowledge and don't get a fuller understanding but think they have authority to speak on it.

I'd point out that that period of progress didnt come from voting, that came from wide-spread activism. All the riots and protests did more than electing uninspired old white guys ever has. So far voting hasnt achieved a lot for us.

If you think this list of demands equals capitulation I'm left with no choice but to believe you would rather Chuck Schumer just stand on the Senate floor screaming "ABOLISH ICE! ABOLISH ICE! ABOLISH ICE!" until magically Trump isn't President anymore.
SENATE AND HOUSE DEMOCRATS ARE UNITED ON REINING IN THE ABUSES OF ICE
Americans have watched in horror as ICE has terrorized communities across the country
Federal agents can’t continue to cause chaos in our cities while more Americans are killed
We must rein in ICE
Here’s what we're demanding:

The quote posters insist none of these demands will happen because the laws will just be ignored.
...then why would anyone in ICE follow along with the "abolishment" of their organization? How is that not also following the letter of the law?

in real terms, #7 would give states leverage to put an end to surges, #8 would give states the ability to outright stop construction of new detention facilities, #1 and #6 would slow the rate at which DHS could train and deploy officers, #2 and #10 would likely shrink the pool of recruits

Spanberger is a moderate Democrat who used to work for the C.I.-fucking-A. It should put the actions of Schumer and Jeffries into perspective for everyone. Are they Republicans? Because they sure act like it.
They need to get the fuck out.

NEW: Abigail Spanberger this afternoon ordered that all state agencies leave ICE's 287(g) program.
This means that the state police (and some other agencies) will no longer be empowered to detain and arrest people for ICE.
Big, big move by the governor within weeks of coming into office.

A very easy way to distinguish principled left-liberalism from antisemitism is that principled liberals will identify Israel as one place among many where the rising tide of authoritarianism needs to be fought whereas antisemites will identify Israel as the place that teaches the world how to be bad

my increasingly curmudgeonly take is that we all, in fact, have responsibilities. politics isn't an arena for self-actualization. it's an arena for public service. this is as true of voters as it is of politicians.
Ps: a common refrain that you'll hear is that "you're saying the Dems can't be at fault, it's the voters, as if the voters owe something to politicians and not the other way around!"
Yes, actually, that's how the social contract of democracy works. Voters yet the government they work for. Or don't.
