It is not possible to appeal to their shame or their patriotism...

Democrats should attempt to appeal to their common interests.

First of all, Mitch McConnell and Kevin McCarthy do not have the interest of the country or the interest of their Party at heart.

There are Republicans that do not run for office again for 4 to 6 years. There are many of them. There are some Republicans that did not support the attack upon our Capitol. They should not be voting with Mitch McConnell. They should declare independence from this partisan charade.

They should be voting to save the Republican Party and their own honor.

They owe Mitch McConnell nothing.

They should vote to get to the truth and to save their Republican Party.

They cannot be shamed into voting.

The only common interests Republicans have with the nation are the same common interests ticks have with dogs.
