its kind of maddening how much of liberal twitter believes the entirety of governing is just writing bills. nonstop writing bills.
they attack people on the left flank with this idea so often. "why dont you write a bill?" as if this is the entirety of how one governs.
bills are important. but so is talking about the issues in those bills, attacking those who get in the way of those bills, rousing the public to support those bills -- this is all a part of governing.
we dont elect people to just go to washington and put their head down on a desk quietly writing bills. we send them there to - ideally - make a ton of noise so they set the table to write those bills to hopefully make life better for people.
if youre an elected official and you're not making noise, in my book you're not doing your job.
