In reply to the discussion: Bernie Sanders Is Building An Army To Stop Trumpcare Dead In Its Tracks In The Senate [View all]Ninsianna
(1,356 posts)I don't think the rallies had much to do with it. Thousands were activated in November when their votes were brushed aside as if they didn't count.
The senators are busy doing other things to deal with their colleagues who seem determined to push bad laws, the Resistance is doing the work, can we credit them?
They're actually even more inspired after the past week or so when things like the commitment to safeguarding human rights was threatened by Senator Sanders. Especially after today, when we learned that simply being female is a preexisting condition, we need Bernie to confirm his commitment to fighting the right wing and their attacks on women, and not help them by endorsing wolves in sheep's clothing.
We can do somersaults and shake our pom-poms AFTER he helps the Dems do the will of the party's constituents and takes a leadership role in fighting our enemy not giving in on issues that are important to us.
I hope that the outcry over what was approved today will teach Bernie how wrong he was to endorse people who agree with these Republicans, this is what happens when we are not rigid on choice.
