3. first, stop whining like this that 'we can't DOOOOO anything"

the Dems need to get their ranks to close and hold steady. They need to ALL grow backbones and hold firm on their beliefs and if they have to make the unifying call "saving the Consitiution" then do so!

Second, once they can get cohesive and hold some solid stance on things, they can start peeling off repubs that are wobbly and on the fence about this whole shitshow. The R's are starting to crack, but we can only get those people peeled off if we have a cohesive agenda and vision. All this scattered energy is wasteful...Bernie's on about Oligarchs, Booker is calling out hypocrisy on the floor etc... if there was a unifying thread, they might have a shot at actually shifting the agenda/narratives.

But whining and strongly worded letters are over. It's time for our reps to get mad and get organized. Or it's time for US to get down and dirty in the streets...
