Which is exactly what happened. You had the power, we gave it to you, we trusted you, and you failed hard. Don't bullshit us that we are the ones that have to fix it. We aren't given the privilege of serving in the Senate.

Establishment Dems lacked the imagination to understand what RETHUGS were going to do. They didn't think it was actually going to happen, probably many still don't. That doesn't make them the same as Rethugs who are happy to hand our country to unelected South Africans

If you are gonna toss the ball to us, and tell us we have to do something, that probably should be voting for someone who will act when we empower them to. If you want us to solve it, at least give us access to your cafeteria and gym, it's only right. Do I sound pissed off, Senator? Cause I am!

I get your anger. I feel it too. But historically it’s the social movements that have forced our leaders’ hands. You do have power. I hope you’re marching on Saturday.

That's the plan, by I also plan to vent to those who failed us, maybe someday they will learn not to underestimate the consequences of letting fascists go unpunished, because odds are good that if (and it is only an if) Democrats regain power, they will repeat this cycle again.

Oh, I vent regularly too. @5calls.org has been a great tool for me! And every Friday evening we gather at our representative’s local office. Can’t let them off the hook at all! Also helped start @yardleyindivisible.bsky.social. Thank you for being in the fight!

How many cycles did Dems control Congress and the presidency and never codified Roe V Wade?!?! Make it make sense - and now it’s women all across the US paying the price for that.

(It looks like the Senate gym and cafeteria may be busier than usual, they better get ready!)

Forget the gym and cafeteria - I want access to their world class health insurance and lifetime pensions

Access to free and excellent healthcare would be nice, too. Congress has withheld this from the American people while Congress gets to use it. Hypocrisy bites.

Ah, the good old days when Senator Joe Lieberman lined up his post-Senate lobbying gig by selling out American's access to health care.

Well, it's more than this. Senator, I'm glad you're speaking out, but YOU need to work on Dem Leadership. I would suggest new leadership NOW, we can't wait. We can only fix this TOGETHER. Not just throw it on the people. Feels like a cop-out. We asked for recounts: Nada We asked for #14thNow: Nada
