Rachel Maddow had encomiums of praise for citizen protestors & Dem pols who hold town halls

[Hekate]

Any of our people who are unhappy bother to watch Rachel Wednesday night?

1. Yes she did,

and I hope to watch it again.

2. it's like the third time she's highlighted this

...it makes a lie out of the complaints, but here we are in this bubble.

[Hekate]

3. Amazing, isn't it?

[bigtree]

5. it's because she bothered to look to see what Dems are doing

...instead of popping off on us with projections.

4. We're the leaders, along with the AOC's, Bernies and others.

When we lead, leaders will follow.
Fact of life.

I give credit to those true leaders who are speaking out RFN, and those of us boycotting, protesting and speaking up.

Because those who wait are too late.

6. ALL Democrats are working hard on our behalf

... I know people seem to think they should be out campaigning, but they are in the Capitol committee rooms fighting every plank of the republican majority's budget agenda and other initiatives. You know, where they work.

The House Dems did their job, led by Hakeem Jeffries to cast a unanimous party vote against the majority's budget bill.

214 Democrats who are the ONLY people in the rooms where our futures are being cut.

People who have actually run campaigns against republicans and won; faced down republican opponents in years long campaigns.

But there are still people who've never run a campaign, much less won one, who think they know better than them on how to manage their politics.

I likeed their appeal today, along the lines of what you said about our own responsibility to action. We need to get out and do the work of pressuring republicans while Dem legislators do the work of voting against them on the inside.
