re: #24 Wendell Zurkowitz ((slave to the waffle light))

If they fail to make hay while the sun shines, we will all suffer. And they have a bad history of letting all that straw just rot out in the fields…

Just keep in mind, though: they are not the party that appointed five judges to the SCOTUS who all got up and lied to our faces about “settled law”.

There has to be more, there can’t just be speeches and statements and a single futile vote for which the spoilers will face no consequences of any note. The party has to go for broke and they have to start doing it soon. It’s not enough to just express “disappointment” or “disagreement” or whatever milquetoast word they use to excuse not holding Manchin and Sinema to task, they need to start cracking the whip and damn the consequences. Oh well, we didn’t get to seat any more judges before November, you ain’t gonna seat any more judges after November if you don’t show the voters that you mean business.

And if that puts “pro-life” Dems running for reelection on the spot, oh-fuckin’-well. It’s 2022, they need to be given a lesson on putting their personal beliefs aside to do their jobs as representatives of the people’s will. Get them out there on the stump to declare that while they are “pro-life,” it’s not going to prevent them from supporting the party if the leadership puts forward a pro-choice bill. They can make their peace with whichever sky deity they like once the job is done.
