Disappointed enough to take action or just disappointed enough to talk about being disappointed? (As if I didn't already know.)

If you're bargaining from a place of "don't punch me in the face too bad, sir," you're gonna get punched in the face, and they're probably gonna do it harder and harder.

If your bargaining position is, "I will expose your pedophile friends and you will face tribunals," the conversation changes.

Lot of people yelling recently "but we don't have the votes!" True! That doesn't mean "immediately quit." (Also not what propter is saying here, to be clear.) It means create a spectacle, make things cause celebres, make the Republican position untenable.

Create bargaining position and force votes.

I've deleted the posts that were misread because people are fucking exhausting.

We have work to do against people who are actually running the show and perpetrating so much harm. We all do.

As Mariame Kaba says, part of the challenge right now on the left is correctly identifying who to be mad at.
