That one guy from Alabama who is very dumb, can’t remember his name, but he, a village idiot, held up 450 or so military promotions for like a year! Please be fucking for real when you say oh what should they do?

It makes me sad that so many of us have given up political imagination and have lost the ability to believe we deserve better from leaders. It’s just sad.
Just like so many of us are convinced that there's not enough money to provide housing and food for everyone. We are the richest society to ever exist in the history of the planet. We have the resources to take care of everyone. But people can't imagine it.
beyond calling Reps/Sens, it’s not too early to make a game plan for midterm organizing. when i canvassed for Bernie in IA, NV, and CO, i was so discouraged that i, an out of state volunteer coming to help at the last minute, was the first person to canvas certain poor neighborhoods.
it seems like the focus is always on the base of educated, middle-class voters who have leisure time and trying to attract the sliver of swing voters who identify as prog but swing centrist… meanwhile there’s whole neighborhoods ignored until the weekend before primaries, after early voting is over!
those are the people who don’t have time to vote, have to work it out with their boss or babysitter, have to plan bus routes etc etc etc. they’re the ones who need special attention and time—and there’s millions of them! start now.
Meanwhile, Repubs have weaponized voting, the judiciary, the confirmation process (eg “lame ducks can’t put someone on the SCOTUS”), and now EOs. Stop playing by polite “rules”.
I don't know when I will arrive at 'sad'; been angry since 11/6. Filled with rage & having a hard time releasing it! Ditched a lot of mainstream media as I realized how useless they were but there's really no escaping news of the FelonInChief's shenanigans. Thinking of ditching the Dems for IND.
The minority has the power to delay, not block, so it’s actually easier to hold up large numbers of people than 2 or 3 key people. The dems couldn’t burn enough floor time to get 450 military officers through 1 at a time, but they can’t keep Trump from getting votes on his top people.
He isn't from Alabama. He lives in Florida but still got elected to be the senator for Alabama because there was an R beside his name and he isn't Roy Moore (Tuberville)
There is so much learned helplessness on the part of both Dem politicians—particularly those entitled geriatric ward residents who came of age when Reagan was ascendant—& Dem rank & file.
"What can they do? It won't succeed TODAY!"
No, but it might tomorrow. Lay the groundwork! Provoke conflict!
Chuck Schumer entered Congress as a Rep when Reagan was elected 44 years ago. We need term limits. It should be 18 years for all federal officeholders (including judges) except President (8).
His name is Tommy Tuberville. Imagine if Democrats actually worked together, strategically. Tuberville was a grandstanding idiot. They has to show leadership and the D’s have to quit being measured and make some trouble. AOC is up for the job.
That would be canned Auburn football coach Tommy Tuberville. The great people of my home state chose him over moderate dem Doug Jones, who did a world of good while in office.
Doug barely beat a known pedophile in his first run.
Just in case anyone was curious about the shit show that is AL 😵💫
Cruz read Green Eggs and Ham on the floor ffs. Yes, use the imagination! Dems need not fret about looking ridiculous if they are fighting for the right things.

So lets get lost in fantasy?
Even his name is cartoonish.
