If an R doesn’t do the right thing, the first time or the first hundred times, that doesn’t mean you give up. We can’t have a line at which it’s not worth trying anymore. I don’t care what a Republican supports, anytime there is a crack, even if they supported it before, it’s 100% worth nurturing. - ThreadSky

Just sayin’

That being said, at some point trying the same thing over and over & expecting a different outcome is dangerously close to the definition of insanity

And giving up is how we lose for good. These are the people in power. There is nothing we can do to change that for the next year and a half so we better get cozy with insanity because that’s our only play.

Not necessarily

ariellaelm.bsky.social•3 days ago

Yes, necessarily even if we’re telling them to resign that is still calling their offices and getting in touch with them

If you’re looking for direction, read the Declaration of Independence.

ABSOLUTELY don't give them things for the sake of 'bipartisanship'- that ship is buried deeper than the imploded submersible.

Continue doing work to register and primary them while *ALSO* putting pressure on their anti-Trump self-interest .

They can join us to save their necks against Trump or no

I keep calling Nick LaLoser's office despite knowing he's a big dumb lump of MAGA 💩.

Especially true of your gop family members. Keep at it.

True! As a Kentuckian, I've mostly been focusing on calling McConnell's office to oppose Trump's nominations, but then Rand Paul did this:

I posted it!

Keep going, Ariella! You're absolutely right. Don't let the naysayers get you down. @aoc.bsky.social says that in weird times, we jiggle every damn door handle in the house because you never know what door is suddenly going to open to you. Cynicism doesn't even try. We try everything.
