What is this?
They need to stay in DC to vote against extending the temporary resolution to shutdown the government over this.
Dafuq are they supposed to do in Minnesota? Talk?
Right? This is a 14yo's version of what they need to be doing. They don't need to be walking in the street, they need to be impeaching and removing every part of this administration. Voting on bills to end this horror, not be physically present where they have little power.
They seem to be doing neither. Being in Minnesota would be about optics and creating awareness. They wouldn't stay long. However they would then continue to talk about it when they return to DC and to their home districts.
Edit:spellcheck broke a word
Because of all the people who don't know about that yet? Everyone knows and has an opinion already. Who actually listens to Congress people speak?
Raising awareness is what leftists call retweeting, so they can pretend they actually do something. I hate that phrase.
Well, no. Raising awareness has changed sentiment and now they are pulling back. They are scaring voters and their propaganda is failing.
Most of them. There are a few that actually seem to be working and it must be so frustrating for those that actually care.
But i would rather they stay in DC and actually use their legislative power than show up for the papers and then do nothing. Though i suppose showing up would still be better than doing neither.
