@nprofile…0g46 The fact that Republicans have more power doesn’t mean Democrats have zero. You and democratic leadership have internalized some serious learned helplessness. Hope is not a strategy, and neither is waiting for the midterms. You still haven’t told me why every elected democrat isn’t out there protesting. AOC and Bernie figured that out — where’s everybody else?

@nprofile…0g46 Would you say Senator Padilla moved the needle by getting roughed up? I’d say that made a difference. How about the Rep who went to El Salvador to see his kidnapped constituent? That helped! Vs sending “strongly-worded letters” or appearing in color-coordinated clothes at the state of the union.

@nprofile…0g46 For instance, no democratic senator should have voted yes on any cabinet pick. They’re ignoring the limited power they do have.

@nprofile…0g46 They can LEAD. Protest. Get arrested. Stop being fucking bipartisan and civil and worrying about decorum and actually do everything in their power to protect democracy. Stop cooperating with fascists!

@nprofile…0lh9 So … how should that sentiment have been expressed? Is there a way it can be expressed without being disgusting?

@nprofile…6m2n What other context is going on that makes this implausible? My students have a hard time believing “Linux will let you delete all the files of your running os until rm stops working without even asking for confirmation once” but I found your statement perfectly plausible and not even the weirdest tech thing I’ve seen today. What am I missing?
