4. that goes against advocacy and activism, itself

...I strongly disagree that demanding this without the majority 'makes us look like losers' when a good number of Americans are demanding the same.

We occupy half of that body of Congress; in a number that's going to be consequential in the advancement of a multi-trillion dollar budget.

They damn sure have the responsibility to demand this, and not act as if one election has rendered our elected officials mute and feckless.

This is either a challenge to republicans or a promise to what Democrats will aspire to when we achieve the majority again, and it's basically essential to that effort to make certain Americans know that WE are standing with them when republicans are acting against them.
