A fuckin 2010s flash mob at the mall has more coordination than the Democrats in congress!!! Do something. Do an "I am Spartacus" type demonstration while Al Green is being led out!! Action! Do something other than waving a fuckin bingo paddle and wearing pink and being decorous!!
If democrats have town halls, I want people to ask them why the fuck they say there in pink or held up little signs while that orange pile of shit jibbered incoherently and the GOP stood and clapped every 2 minutes.
Am I wrong for expecting more? Expecting better? Expecting @repjasmine.bsky.social to have been right there next to @algreen and walking out with him in solidarity?
I believe @repjasmine.bsky.social is one of the most powerful voices we have, along with @aoc.bsky.social. I wanted more from her than a quote after the fact saying, "I'd tell Trump not to be Putin's hoe." Yeah, no. That's not it
She and a few others. @sanders.senate.gov , @aoc.bsky.social , @chrismurphyct.bsky.social but that seems to be it. I wasn't able to attend, but I forwarded my questions to our group going to see Maria Cantwell to ask why not? What they're doing? And will she also benefit from the tax cuts? (Yes)
She can call him Putin's hoe but do it whole you're holding a virtual town hall or live stream that's at the same time as the joint address. THAT would have been more meaningful and powerful.
Imagine if all the democrats had walked out in a coordinated manner and gone to their offices had a giant live stream or even individual live streams/town halls. People boycotting would have watched that. People watching would've probably tuned in.
We should have stayed and barred the doors before Trump's goons were able to escort Mr. Green anywhere. We need to keep our "house" and to do that we can't just leave it. Stay there and fight. I hate to think I've voted for paper tigers.

Maybe I'm naive... or I don't know anything.
The only one who did anything worth a damn were AOC and Al Green.
