    Sorry, but she can’t try. The floor is controlled by Republicans and they will not let her proceed.

      Right…

      Which will highlight to the country that a Republican House matters right before an election is coming up and donations will make a huge difference in races…

      What dem voters want is to know that their votes matter. And this shows them what happens because of the 2022 midterms and will lead to increased turnout in 2024.

      It’s not “all or nothing”. To beat fascism we need to never stop fighting even when the odds are astronomically against suceeding.

      It’s not even politics at this point, it’s basic psychology. We need to give voters what they want, and right now Dem voters want to fight fascism.

          Welcome to America

          We can sit around and talk about how the average voter should do better on their own out of a sense of civic duty…

          Or we can do what we know will motivate them.

          Which do you think is more productive?

              Nice.

              So we agreed:

              Or we can do what we know will motivate them

              Which is “performative” stuff like this that won’t succeed, but will energize voters leading to more dems in office across the board.
