You’re missing their point though. People are dying. While things are slow people are dying. At a certain point that becomes a problem doesn’t it? How long do you wait? How slow can we afford it to be?
It’s just kind of absurd to ask people who are dying of lack of Health Care right this minute to be patient. To ask people that are living in crippling poverty to be patient. To ask women and children that are being raped with impunity to be patient. We’re drowning here.
What is it you wanted me to reconcile myself to? I was born here, almost 60 years ago. I’m not going to live another 60 years. You always told me ‘It takes time.’ It’s taken my father’s time, my mother’s time, my uncle’s time, my brothers’ and my sisters’ time. How much time do you want for your progress?"
Sounds like you see yourself as the one outside of the car. Why are you still standing on the embankment while some drowns. What purpose does your concern serve. You are bystander syndrome. Choosing an option that helps no one in this moment.

To quote James Baldwin in 1982.
Good thing no one’s being asked, it’s just happening.

I don’t know where the fuck you got that idea from. I’m certainly drowning.

Democrats are who keep Republicans in office. Oh, and go fuck yourself, fascist pig.
You definitely have evidence for that accusation right? Haha no obviously you fucking don’t. Reported.

Isn’t that exactly what OP said?
The difference is between one group doing a bad job of rescuing, while the other is actively trying to make things worse.

Though the metaphor doesn’t work because Democrats also actively try to make things worse
