I get wanting Dems to do more. But unless you are specific like asking for quorum calls, all you’re doing is helping people give up.
And many things you’re screaming for are on us not them.
Martin Luther King Jr. wasn’t a Member Of Congress
Rosa Parks wasn’t a Member Of Congress

They have work to do and there is some of it that they could be doing a little bit better but so do we.
If they get arrested, we lose our congressional representation. Is that really a good idea right now?

Politicians play a role, but so do we, and that role goes way past just voting.

We are not blameless
4/4
Democratic Reps. Omar (Minn.), Pressley (Mass.), Speier (Calif.), Watson Coleman (N.J.), Tlaib (Mich.), Bush (Mo.),
Clark (Mass.), Levin (Mich.), Ocasio-Cortez (N.Y.), Adams (N.C.), Escobar (Texas) and Maloney (N.Y.)
Same youth that were mad about Gaza?
I agree, we need more but every action we take matters, even the small ones
Yeah our reps can do better but so can we in getting the word out, protesting, boycotting, calling etc
This! This is why we must unite against Trump, Elon & the Republicans who are enabling this
It is why we should have been United to do this in Nov. 2024
Without us the World is not safe, not Palestinians, not Ukrainians, not anyone else facing Authoritarianism
And this helps Palestinians how?
This helps women how?
This helps blacks how?
It helps Latinos/Hispanics how?
It helps our bank accounts how?
The youth were distracted
They were manipulated
time to wake up
This is a clear example of how the parties are glaringly different
Biden lowered costs for people in so many ways
Many of those costs were up because of Republican leadership like mishandling of covid
DT illegal dismantles it & Rs in power say oh well or good
Did we forget DTs first term & how damaging it was
They sent AOC & Crocket out like the Ra did MTG & Boebert when they were the minority
Yes the Dems understand they need to also clarify their message & how they move forward
If more people help get their message out they might understand there is some rebranding already happening
In your own posts; calls, emails and loud demands have pushed some Rs to voice dissatisfaction quieter Ds to stand up, knowing that their constituents are both Mad and Care Enough to make this matter.
Isn't that what we want?
With you on fighting doomers
But communicating to / working with the public is *also* a part being a politician. "I filmed a video / wrote a blurb and that's it" hasn't cut it since 9-11. You should not be their comms strategy.
It makes a difference because by wasting time they’re going to close the session because they don’t want to stay late
Also? 90% of these assholes aren't in the room 90% of the time. AND it causes huge rushes from aaaaaalllll the neighboring buildings!
That's freaking AWESOME.
We vote to put our values in positions of actual power. Meanwhile we take action at home in large or small ways.
When elected representatives fail to work hard, stand up, represent…. they deserve to hear about it.
Their job is also to communicate with constituents. The best reps tell us what they’re seeing, working on, strategy, local impacts via social media posts, local media, town halls.
I love @zaidtmusic.bsky.social delivery
Actually tell them when you call them
Sadly on social media what it translates to is the Democrats are weak & why should we vote for them
The Rs know Trump sucks but do they act like it? Not online
Do they call & harass both parties? Absolutely
Follow their lead
In the wide open you make a lot of noise at school boards and city council to force a narrative & your agenda
Think Tea party/moms of Liberty
It’s strategy to win & influence your agenda
And here is the next protest
