Here’s something you can do that actually helps Democrats and yourself…PREPARE YOUR HOUSEHOLDS AS BEST YOU CAN FOR THE NEXT REPUBLICAN ONSLAUGHT.
I keep seeing sooooo many people that helped get us to this place tell you to do everything but the obvious thing.

If you want Democrats to hold the line for months, you need to be preparing your household to hold the line for months. It’s that damn simple🤷🏾♀️
If you go back to business as usual when/if the government re-opens (as long as republicans are in power) that’s 100% on you

In the midst of all that we are facing, I want us to think about who we are being told to look to for understanding in this moment, who is being propped up as the voice of wisdom, and ask how right were they in predicting this, a year ago, 5, 8 years ago, and then ask why they are being centered now

Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.
