Washington (CNN)Debra Messing was fed up. The former "Will & Grace" star was among dozens of celebrity Democratic supporters and activists who joined a call with White House aides last Monday to discuss the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade.

The mood was fatalistic, according to three people on the call, which was also co-organized by the advocacy group Build Back Better Together.

Messing said she'd gotten Joe Biden elected and wanted to know why she was being asked to do anything at all, yelling that there didn't even seem a point to voting. Others wondered why the call was happening.

That afternoon, participants received a follow-up email with a list of basic talking points and suggestions of Biden speech clips to share on TikTok.

My favorites quotes from this:

"There's no fight," another Democratic member told CNN. "People understand that a lot of this is out of his hands -- but what you want to see is the President out there swinging."

AND

"It had the appearance of throwing spaghetti at the wall and seeing what sticks," one official said privately.

So Biden just needs to GET OUT THERE and do stuff even if he has no plan or power to actually do anything, but ALSO he shouldn't just be throwing spaghetti at the wall! WTF is he supposed to do to please people when you have contradictory demands coming from his party?????????????

1. I read that earlier

Just about died that somehow Debra Messing was the whole lead in for the narrative.

"Oh no, an actress who spends all day on Twitter is upset!"

Seriously one of the funniest things I've read all week.

Not. Debra. Messing!

I don't know why, but the first three paragraphs had me lose it. I started showing friends.

It's hysterical.

8. I'm pretty sure the person who wrote this article knew that a lot of readers would get a big laugh

out of a self-important sitcom actress pitching a tantrum over weighty political matters.

2. CNN is a republican's idea of objective news

4. Even dems in congress want him to throw anything out there

And they should know better.
Everyone wants that magic wand he has to solve everything now.

5. I know when I'm considering my presidential ballot

I always look to Debra Messing for guidance. Thank god she got him elected. Really, wtf?

6. If he did "get out there swinging," there'lll be whining about "broken promises" when

not everything he says can actually get done.

Horrible article, saves any defense of Democrats until the very end. Today saw another gross both-sides Jezebel article and the terrible bad thing Democrats are doing that makes them the same as Republicans is telling people to get out and vote.
