“Indivisible is urging people who are scared to call their member of Congress, whether they have a Democrat or Republican, and make specific procedural asks,” Greenberg said.
“Our supporters are asking Democrats to demand specific red lines are met before they offer their vote to House Republicans on the budget, when Republicans inevitably fail to pass a bill on their own.”
So? Republicans have been in the minority and they’re still successful in blocking the Democrats’ agenda. I don’t see why the Democrats are so reluctant to turn the tables when it’s literally our entire fucking country on the line. They should refuse everything the Republicans try to do.
They kept the fucking filibuster around ostensibly for this very reason. If they don’t use it every chance they have, it’s clear that the only reason they kept it around is to block progressive legislation that they ran on but never had any intention of passing.
