There is a Quaker tradition that prayer is between you and God and should be silent. Public prayer is for the benefit of the ego of mankind, not their relationship to the divine.
The pussy hat style protests are for the benefit of the ego of the participants in much the same way.

the reason you pre-commit to being part of a voting coalition for another candidate is so that you can convince the other candidates' supporters to be part of your coalition if your candidate wins

Well-put. I’ve been saying something similar- these leftists are dopamine addicts, looking for outrage willy-nilly ADHD style. And the grifters take advantage of this, hence the “issue of the week” for them.

"failure of a test"
I'm sorry, *how* was it tested? The last few times Dems lost, leftists spent *years* discussing how they'd never vote Dem.
Fetterman was elected *thanks to the efforts of progressives and leftists*, Platner is getting pushed by progressives, what are you *talking* about?

No, let’s say the quiet part out loud:
Vote Blue, No Matter Who itself has been a failure of a test. Very clearly, we need to better evaluate politicians we’re supporting blindly.
John Fetterman, Graham Platner & his tattoo, Catherine Cortez Masto, Corey Booker, GAVIN NEWSOM?!?
Think! Critically!

Last year in the White House, when Trump tried to intimidate Maine into following his executive order, I fought back, took him to court, and won.

In 2018, Brazil elected a president named Jair Bolsonaro, who attempted the sort of authoritarian power grabs that Trump is currently doing in the United States.
Except, the keyword here is attempted. Unlike in America, Brazil’s Congress and Supreme Court worked to constrain the president. 🧵

They misunderstand the whole point of voting being a shared civic duty. As citizens, it's OUR job to vote for the government we want ~even if that means not getting everything you want.
"Earned votes" is straight up white privilege flowing from white supremacy.
These people are lazy AF, truly.

The thing I constantly have to do is flip the argument around: I'm not sure Trump could have run a *worse* campaign and he *still* got elected. If it's incumbent on Dems to run the most perfect campaign ever or the GOP wins by default no matter what they did, then it's not really about what Dems do.

And this is another thing: white people are constantly holding up Talarico as the church whisperer when Senator Raphael Warnock (D-GA) is already there.
There's already an ordained clergyman in the Senate - from a historically significant ministry, in fact.
Rep. Crockett has a J.D. and served as a public defender recently. Both are sorely needed representations in the Senate.
