PSA: Please, please STOP CALLING RANDOM SENATORS!!

The only ones who will listen to you are your own. When you call others, you are keeping THEIR constituents, people THEY might listen to, from getting through.

I know you feel helpless, but this is not the solution.

Let me break it down some more -

McConnell could get 5000 calls/hour and it would not matter. He will NEVER KNOW about those calls. They are dispatched by 22 yr olds.

Protest work in his FAVOR bc he gets to mistreat protesters on TV and look tough to his voters.

Be smarter.
But WHADABOUT the Blue Wave???

The "Blue Wave" happened bc of dedicated grassroots organizing at the district level.

It happened bc local Dems made sure we nominated viable candidates.

It happened because Nancy took impeachment off the table so Dems could focus on local issues

"Energy and enthusiasm" is great, but that's not how you get anything done.

Some of us have jobs.

If you have time to "take to the streets" you have time to GO KNOCK DOORS.

So please contact your local Dems and go knock doors instead.

If you have time to "take to the streets" you have time to GO KNOCK DOORS.

I know it's not glamorous. You won't see yourself on TV. It's exhausting. It can be frustrating.

But it's the only thing that works.

And it's more valuable to a campaign than anything money can buy.
I've lost like 80 followers over this thread.

People do NOT like being told to eat their broccoli.

But I'm not here to run up numbers, I'm trying to make (an admittedly small) difference.

Thanks to everybody who gets it. Please Retweet.

Very well said. 👏👏👏👏👏
