John,totally agree! Newsom is not a leader, but a Dem BSer and Fetterman - He’s just gone off the rails saying he’d never vote for a government shut down. And Bannon, just another anti-democratic Trump mobster spewing poison. I’m really praying theSenate can vote down that very dirty Continuing Resolution, but I don’t think they will buy a 30 day CR. Like Adam said, MAGA runs it so they’re going to have to own it and the Dems need to shout that loud and clear if there’s a shutdown. Nobody wants it, but if you don’t stand on principle someplace, you might as well just go home and this is a good place to stand!!!
Keep calling your dem senators demanding that they stay strong and shut down the government in protest. The analysis I've seen predicts that they are going to fold.
I worked on the Hill for a year, so like all analyses, especially these days, I take with maybe 2 grains of salt. Some seem to be finding where their spine is located so I think there’s a reasonable chance they pull it off. They absolutely need to for all our sakes and then they need to clearly communicate why they did it!
Regarding the 3/14 protest and 3/7-14 amazon blackout: are these going to be more events - like the Jan 18 protest, the Presidents' Day protest, and the Feb 28 blackout, where as far as I can tell NOBODY made any effort to get the numbers of total participants or total dollars? (Amazon lying about its "Friday sales" by including Wednesday and Thursday doesn't qualify.)
If anyone knows who is organizing to get reliable numbers, please reply here!
Having those numbers is essential to discouraging interest in declaring martial law and doing other unConstitutional anti-democracy things. Whenever there is one of these coordinated protests we need to be able to say - and the other side needs to struggle with the truth - that X tens of millions (I expect it will be at least 10) showed up nationwide, and another Y million came out in solidarity in other countries. We also need to have a way to estimate the dollars every time there is a buying blackout to help the stock market continue its slide, only faster.
