You aren't listening to what I'm saying. This is leverage and its not being used whatsoever.
You triage by making things as costly as possible for the enemy to demoralize and exhaust them.

Hey buddy. Do you know what Senate Dems COULD be doing but aren't? Pretty sure you don't. Last thing was a unanimous consent agreement last Thursday to *advance* votes on Trump nominees, so that Dems could go home for Valentines Day, and in some cases, go to Munich to drink beer. Blocking?

I had no idea you could request ARCs. But I'll stick to buying physical copies or requesting that my library (jmrl.org) get your books. ❤️

Why would I shout at you, you're awesome. Only I haven't bought your latest book yet, please don't shout at me!

Just as a reminder, separate from the executive orders being blocked in federal court, the Code of Virginia explicitly prohibits discrimination on account of gender identity.

It is. The Democratic party electeds are absolutely fucking worthless, maybe four House Dems aside. And we need to be pressuring them to grow a spine--they won't, unless there's an overwhelming number of calls to their offices. But call make a difference! Staffers count them! 5calls.org

Do you know what Senators can do to gum up the works in the Senate? Are Dems doing that?

No, that's exactly right. It's all performative to them. Even when they took their 30 hours of debate to contest Vought's nomination, the cameras showed an empty Senate floor, which means they didn't do quorum calls, and Senate Republicans didn't even need to be on the floor. Entirely performative!

Oh, 100%. There are like 4 House Dems (Raskin, AOC, Frost, Crockett(?) and zero Senate Dems. I am SO disappointed with Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren.

You are a real piece of work. If you don't know that individual Senators can gum up the works and basically shut the Senate down, then you should shut the fuck up.

"An hour or two". Yeah, *you're* smart. The Senate runs on unanimous consent. One Senate Dem could shut it down for a long time, if they were committed. You, jack, don't know shit, or don't care, or you're Blue MAGA, or you're a troll. Educate yourself or fuck right off.

We're all protesting Republicans, jack. And we would also like Democrats to do everything in their power to resist. See? It's not complicated.

Have you denied unanimous consent for everything? Done constant quorum calls? Taken your 30 hours for debate for EVERY GODDAMN THING? No, you haven't and you aren't. You fucking useless shits.

Block lists are powerful. You need to be EXTREMELY careful when you subscribe to one. Make sure you know the person, their background, all that. Bad actors are trying to lure people in with blocklists that seem correctly targeted, and then change the targets. In this case, this guy is MAGA.
