WHY, WHY, WHY are Democratic

[kacekwl]

Congress members, liberal media social and otherwise not hounding every Republican Congress member to explain, defend the reasoning behind the continued support of obvious Russian agent. Do you support the president shitting on Americans, do you support tearing down literally and figuratively the White House and lying about it. There are so many atrocities including killing unknowns in boats with no consequences to deal with and they have to defend why they support undermining the constitution and the rule of law. I done with trump and it's seriously time to remove him and his administration now. Make every one of them own it. We can't remove him without Republicans so we have to attack them hard .

1. One of the great mysteries of our time.

An epidemic of melting spines.

2. Hound them at home? Congress isn't in session now, keeps Republicans away from contact with press and colleagues.

3. Back to town halls in their districts posing these questions suggesting that constituents who are concerned...

... do more than just call. Anyone can get together with a few neighbors and call the scheduler at a local office to schedule meeting with the Rep, or senior members of staff. And don't just go to "be heard." Ask pointed questions. Record the response. And post the bullshit responses on social media with a request for others to follow up.

It is time for our electeds to remind US of our own power and how to effectively use it.

4. Key point.

That cannot be stressed enough.

18. You might like Alberto Alemanno's "Lobbying for Change: Find Your Voice to Create a Better Society"

It's from 2017, but the notion of more of us incorporating the identity of "Citizen Lobbyists" as part of who we are -- not just for a better society, but for our own wellbeing as engaged people finding meaning -- is what I think this country needs more than anything. People are tired of being treated as ATMs, but don't have a sense of what they can do to shape their government or otherwise help create a better society.

5. Because they voted for it?

He's been POTUS for like 9 months, less than a year after winning an election where he swept all the Swing States.

WHY would the GOP get rid of him? They voted for al of it.

I don't get it.

6. As I said this morning on my similar post

Republican should be asked on camera do you approve of Trump's repeated violations of the law or are you afraid of him? It's one or the other. WHICH IS IT?

This is a subtle, but important distinction: Democrats don't need to be on offense as much as Republicans need to be constantly put on defense, having to explain their support of a lawless president.

9. What camera ?

[Chasstev365]

16. TV Live? Video?

19. Bingo

7. Well, how many of the Dems are beholden to

the same oligarchs that the gop are?

Or, how many are being blackmailed by Epstain's decades old blackmail business?

We now KNOW that Epstain was about
BLACKMAIL Virginia told us. BELIEVE IT. It is as dirty and disgusting as it gets.

8. The greatest mystery

I myself wonder this every day. Why the silence?

[NewEnglandAutumn]

10. Write Them, text them, comment on their social media

Make them hear your voice. I don't care if they are listening I will voice my opinions and continue to do so.

[ananda]

11. Because they're too nice.

So many Dems have nice patterns,
and they are very hard to break.

[mdbl]

12. And they don't seem to work very well.

[slightlv]

13. I've always been a nice person...

Always a democrat. And I'm always so angry now that I can't make that statement as true today. Of course, im not a politico.

[ananda]

14. Nice is a word used to keep people in line.

Being good and kind is entirely different from
being "nice."

[Bev54]

15. Also tell me why democratic senators just voted another Trump judge on the federal bench for life.

JFC.

17. Most are too buried in institutionalism to see it coming to pieces around them. They mistakenly think

that things will get back to 'normal' after the next election.

There are only a few who are fighting back. The rest are playing parliamentary games in an increasingly irrelevant congress.

Yeats wrote the Second Coming for just such a time as ours.

Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.

Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
Troubles my sight: somewhere in sands of the desert
A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.
The darkness drops again; but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?
