You could say the same about comments on here that are discouraging activism

I prefer email and written correspondence are timestamped. And you can clearly articulate exactly what you say in a written note to your people.

With a call you are counting on someone answering your phone call to transcribe your comments.

why not send email messages that must be responded to?

i sent one to each of my senators earlier today letting them know that a lot more will go independent and stop funding democrats if they don't reorganize.

We won't be successful fighting Trump with Schumer/Durban in party leadership positions. Now is the time to put leaders in place who understand the fight we're in.

Will you call for Schumer to step aside?

I would pay money to never see or hear from him again

I would like to give credit to @markmansour.bsky.social for framing these sentiments so clearly

- It’s time for a new caucus IMHO. Are you thinking about that already? What will real leadership look like?

Sincerely Yours,

- When congressional leaders fail to do so, our anger and frustration are justified.

- If Schumer is not replaced immediately and a new, effective leadership team and caucus are not established, I will switch to independent—others will follow. This will reverberate nationwide.

- Trumpians know only abuse of power. Trump has no interest in compromise. He now knows he can do this again and again, expecting Democrats to cave.

- Millions of us expect our representatives to deliver real opposition and fight for our interests—not capitulate.

- These are not people you enter into agreements with unless a judge is involved.

- Betrayal and Stupidity have defined this caucus' recent decisions under Chuck Schumer’s leadership.

- This moment of strategic failure shows that the current caucus still believes compromise works.

- Up until yesterday, I thought there were rational friends in senators like Angus King. However, all eight of the senators who voted yesterday for this terrible CR actually think that the GOP is still led by people like John McCain. It is not.

Dear [SENATOR]:

- We need to clean out the frightened, the feckless, those who would compromise with a crooked despot, and the weak. That is the only hope for a revived Democratic Party that truly represents the people.

Betrayal and Stupidity.

Nothing more.
