We didn’t empower them with the votes to take action. That’s our fault.

Yes, it’s the millions of Americans who voted trump, voted third party, or much worse, didn’t bother to vote that put us here.

No you elect them to fight for legislation for us which they have been doing. We have a whole party with people not weighed down with standing against Trump's take over in the Capitol. They are out there. Read Ariella - she lists what they're doing regularly. Look at the STATES. THAT is resistance

Yes and again I don’t think you listened to my piece because I specifically discuss the people in the states. Spend a few minutes and watch it before you keep posting

Discuss the whole of CONGRESS and what they're doing. Town halls in Red districts - over 137 last count in 50 states and NOT just to Dems and Bernie cult followers but to scared, angry Trump voters. Talk about Swalwell and others who do videos daily on issues. They're carrying the messages!

Velshi seems to not appreciate your feedback. That's too bad he's twisting your words around, hon. I agree with you. And I listened to every word of his video twice.

We are on tenterhooks here. Not sure if he gets it or doesn't. But I said my say. In a time of crisis, you don't invent new tasks for people already doing what's assigned, and you don't critique their personalities either. He can take it or leave it. Thank you, dear Rosey for your kind support!

He is. But he needs to do better. These are not normal times. He's one of my favorites, but he can DO BETTER.

He is one of the few journalists covering these topics. I would say ALL the other shows need to DO BETTER and catch up to Ali. Then as a collective people will hear it.

I don't argue with that, but bashing legislative leadership for not being POLITICAL leadership is not helping anyone.

We DEMs have to be better at both. GOP does both. They choose not to legislate but make it political so people buy it. It is an ugly trick they do but sadly people buy it. We have TRUTH on our side and state leaders fighting but the top leaders in Congress can’t get out of their bubble to fight.

For pushback we need voices NOT in leadership but from a wide range of people. NO resistance or rebellion is ever led by legislators. NEVER.

But I like your challenge - when has a Speaker or Leader of the Senate ever led street action? Not just here - ANYWHERE?

Yeah, this person isn't serious. Claiming to have been alive since 1950 and saying all that time we elected members of Congress to lead street protests and civil rights demonstrations and so on? Bull fucking shit.
