    It's always so infuriating to see this shit because they have to know that there is an implicit "To make things better" in the question

    None of this is apparent or even helpful to the common person, but they sure act like it is

      You're telling me that an executive order mandating more workplace diversity in the federal govt isn't responsible for fixing the race issue in the government? What about making Juneteenth a federal holiday? Or "Ending support for Saudi Operations in Yemen" (but still selling them guns to kill innocent people), that helps common people and makes us the good guys, right?

      I remember asking someone in r/politics what he had actually done and they seemingly went to whitehouse.gov and copy and pasted the achievements section. "And the majority of the voter base that isn't terminally online is going to know or care about this how?"

        These types of posts aren't for the majority of the voter base, they're for well-off liberals unaffected by changes in government policy to reassure themselves that their vote actually mattered. The contents of the the block of text are irrelevant - the block of text existing is enough to give liberals moral superiority over anyone who dares criticize the administration or the electoral system that birthed it.
