There’s no such thing as wasted political capital these days, shit like this energizes the base, and this is probably the biggest thing to help Biden (or whoever the candidate is) all year.
trumpers are already jacked up on Mountain Dew, they can’t vote any harder then they already are and they’re not gonna vote any less. We need the focus on motivating Dem voters.
And win or lose, this does that.
Show voters that with X amount more votes. We can actually fix something. It’s a few months before the election, this is literally perfect timing.
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.
Well congresswoman, there still is a republican majority so you’re going to have to wait for your chance. In addition, balance of powers and all that.
Sounds like something that would be a popular thing to campaign on.
and too bad supreme court doesn’t think that exists anymore
So many things to campaign on…
And all they use is not trump.
If you don’t try, you’ll never succeed.

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

If it wasn’t clearly obvious that votes matter before, you’re not paying attention.
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?
You can talk now.
I doubt talking about something you can’t do could be called productive.
Nice.
So we agreed:
Which is “performative” stuff like this that won’t succeed, but will energize voters leading to more dems in office across the board.
Wasn’t that the exact thinking of the immigration bill before it was done as an executive order?
