1,000,000 votes on repealing Obamacare even when they knew they’d fail; why are we afraid (often) of taking votes unless we’re sure we’ll win.

Take 1,000 votes: contraception, voting rights, health care, interracial marriage, lgbtq+ rights, guarantees for social security and Medicare; votes securing no tax increases on the poor and only for the top %’s, etc.

Take them all then hammer republicans on everything they voted against:

Rep. X voted AGAINST a, b, and c!

repugs dig up an old photo of a comedian be funny and then find other R women to accuse him,
we proved it was all a conspiracy and hoax but the damage was done. Real shame also that other
Ds got behind Gillbrand, if Al had been an R, repugs would have circled the wagons around him.

That's the major difference between the 2 parties, we can find fault within our ranks and hold ours
accountable when necessary, Rs will never admit an R has done wrong. Hope they're prepared to
hear what the Jan 6th Committee is getting ready to ask them on national TV.

If that doesn't work, use dimensional lumber. If that fails, well, we can burn 'em out...........
