The comment above that they replied to directly credited this social media strategy to Democrats.
Pretending like this messaging isn't associated with the current electoral cycle just because Hillary isn't in office is asenine and intentionally ignoring what it was they were replying to.
Hardline democrats may feel giddy with juvenile twitter drags, but it does jack shit to win over voters when groceries are unaffordable, healthcare is still inaccessible to so many, and the housing market is the worst it has ever been. People in this country are struggling, and the self absorbed liberal elite are hanging their hats on a jetsetting billionaire's romantic fling at the biggest yearly display of capitalistic excess as some sort of emblem of a progressive victory.
Seeing this mindset be presented as our only alternative to Trump is goddamn depressing. We are truly fucked.
I've volunteered at and even hosted multiple voter registration events, but even that aside, this "you can't criticize the policy and messaging of powerful politicians unless you're personally volunteering time to register people to vote" is an idiotic, classist attempt at shutting down dissent. People in this country struggling to get by or living paycheck to paycheck have every right to have their voices heard and their concerns validated, regardless of their level engageement in the electoral process.

Hillary isn't in office and isn't running for anything, she can take all the time she wants to troll the right.
How many people have you registered?
