“Indivisible is urging people who are scared to call their member of Congress, whether they have a Democrat or Republican, and make specific procedural asks,” Greenberg said.
“Our supporters are asking Democrats to demand specific red lines are met before they offer their vote to House Republicans on the budget, when Republicans inevitably fail to pass a bill on their own.”
Maybe we shouldn’t have to harass people into doing their FUCKING JOBS
Start opposing republicans, stop giving them wins. Start demanding concessions- extensive and painful ones- to get your help.
Stop acting like you’re all adults, the other side is a bunch of toddlers and should be called out for their rampant bullshit. From the committees, from the podium. From every pulpit you can use.
This bullshit “we didn’t get a supermajority so we can’t do anything more than send rude letters” attitude is exactly why you’re out of power.
People want solutions- even bad ones. People don’t care if those solutions are awful. They don’t care if Trump is insane, they’re tired of the status quo and y’all have been the party of the status quo.
do something because if you don’t we’re going to have another 4+ years of this shit while the dnc collapses and becomes something else.
Dems showing up to a federal agency they fund and being told “no, you can’t come in to the public entrance” should have been met with “there’s forty of us and one of you, you can’t arrest us all, mf, now watch this kickflip”, not “okay :(”
Democrats see republicans acting like toddlers and think “What would Caillou’s parents do?”
