Once when we wanted to show the ineffectual dithering of The Good Place Committee, we had one of them say, "There are rules, procedures. This is The Good Place -- we can't just *do stuff.*" We almost didn't include it, because we thought it was a little on the nose.
WELKER: Massie and Khanna say they are looking at options including impeachment and contempt for DOJ officials. Would you support those steps?

No, they specifically chose 8 Dems not up for reelection to end the government shutdown and side with republicans.
Meaning they are aware of mass calls to primary establishment Dems.

I don’t follow how ending the shutdown is a work around of the primary system, but we can’t recall federal elected offices.
It was debated at the Constitutional Convention and rejected.

I know that primarying Dems is the call to action for the moment, but why can’t we recall them too when they vote against their constituents wishes or ignore public outcry?
Their manipulation in ending the shutdown for a pinky promise shows them working around primaries.

How do you contact your reps? Right here mother pupper! Go to the left menu, type in KOSA and they literally tell you what to write and say. You barely have to do any work. Find your legislators and get going! This is everyone’s to do list today.

A lot of you are hoping Republicans crumble so you won’t have to rely on Democrats.
It’s very transparent.

kind of funny that "you are not allowed to criticize the democrats for any reason" isn't seen as the highest expression of "purity politics."

@imanibarbarin.bsky.social just posted a video about why disabled adults need other disabled adult friends.
This is why I share my experience with Long Covid/MECFS and how much I appreciate when others candidly do the same.
We are stronger together.

Democrats are leaning into the meme war because they think if they win in culture, they don’t have to win in policy—and no one will notice.

A lot of you believe in eugenics because it’s the only facet to white supremacy and racism you have access to because if pain and suffering were the prerequisites to not having reproductive choice then no one other than straight, white, Nondisabled men would exist.
