While voting for Take it down.
Oh fuck off and actually do something meaningful, FUCK. Sick of the posturing shit. Need to kick these geriatrics out and get some actual citizens that give a shit in these positions.
Its all a show, this bill has no chance of passing and they know this. The Democrat resistance is nothing more than smoke and pretty words.
I mean, yeah, what else are they supposed to do at this point, you took them out of every lever of power.
Don’t get me wrong I think the Democrats failed as much for the next guy but getting mad at them now after you’ve prevented them from doing anything at all just seems petty.
what else are they supposed to do at this point
Pull from the GOP playbook.
Obstruct everything. Shut down the government. Make unholy stinks on the floor of the House parading around big blown up pictures of dead women and summon mobs of angry constituents into the halls of Congress to yell at people. Tap the Blue State governors and legislatures to push radical pro-women policies, reject federal money whenever it comes with anti-abortion strings attached, and force local businesses to toe the party line if they want to interface with state governments. Make the lives of anti-abortion groups in the state hellish by running strings of investigations that seek to scandalmonger them. Lean on the press to focus on the havoc that these anti-abortion laws are causing. Run Project Veritas operations on those Anti-Abortion front groups that exist to profit off adoption services. Have the police surround and intimidate anti-abortion activist groups, while pro-choice groups are free to block the entrances to buildings, harass staff, and generally make any anti-abortion activist in the state fear for their lives.
but getting mad at them now after you’ve prevented them from doing anything at all just seems petty.
It would seem to be a trend.
If I had a nickel for every time a congressperson told me they introduced a new bill to address some issue, I’d be rich. In the age of Trump, people aren’t hoping their representatives are going to introduce dead on arrival legislation; they’re hoping their representatives will lead a national movement. We need people in the streets daily. We need occupy DC.
I remember constant complaints of “The Dems didn’t even TRY anything, they should have proposed bills even if they knew it would fail!” before the second Trump presidency.
Now it seems the chorus has changed to “I can’t believe they’re trying something they know will fail!”
Curious.
Turns out that when they actually get a majority, they need to reintroduce and actually vote for bills, or they lose credibility.
Which is how you get people who realized in 2021 that your party is run by useless bums who only effectively represent the businesses exploiting us and of course netanyahu.
You want less cynicism, inspire less cynicism.
