No More F*cking Around. We elected you. Start acting like it (what I want to see today from Dems)

Elizabeth C. McLaughlin @ECMcLaughlin (Founder, Gaia Project for Women's Leadership)

Instead of shouting into the ethers and dropping f-bombs all over Twitter, I'm gonna tell you what I want to see today from the Dems.

1) I want immediate implementation of @ElieNYC's brilliant idea of federalizing a force of OB/GYNs in Texas.

2) I want Manchin and Sinema stripped of committee assignments unless and until they vote to end the filibuster.

3) I want Dianne Feinstein pressured into resignation before the Sept. 14 recall election deadline so that Gavin Newsom can appoint her successor and this stupid charade of pretend confidence can end.

4) I want the DSCC and the DCCC to play hardball. No money for campaigns if you vote outside the agenda. If McConnell can make this happen, so can we.

5) I don't want to hear the word bipartisanship ever again from President Biden. Not ever. Not ever ever ever.

6) I want Roe v. Wade codified into federal law with legislation introduced TODAY.

7) I want the Green New Deal passed and codified.

8) While we're at it, NATIONWIDE MASK MANDATE.

9) I want every member of Congress who spoke at the 1/6 rally stripped of Committee assignments.

10) I want every member of Congress who voted to overturn the election stripped of Committee assignments.

11) I want the sergeant at arms of the Senate and the House empowered to detain anyone who interferes with the 1/6 committee, including by defying subpoenas. This power was used in the past and needs to be reinstated for 1/6 witnesses, including Reps.

That's for starters. But I'm just gonna say this: we've seen what they can and will do. We've known it forever and now it's bearing fruit.

NO MORE ****ING AROUND. WE ELECTED YOU. START ACTING LIKE IT.

VOTING RIGHTS. I meant to include and did not. Pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act through the Senate today or write the tombstone for America.

And the For the People Act, obviously.

LET’S GO.

4. This accomplishes nothing productive.

What she wants and what's possible are two different things. She needs to come to terms with that and prepare herself for disappointment. I get that she's upset and frustrated, but... this isn't productive.

Really? How? Where's the bill? The Biden Climate Plan makes much more sense and is a better start.

Why just "from the Dems"? Does she even know how things work? Does she think that we have some sort of super-majority? Does she understand that these things require working with the Republicans?

Ridiculous. She obviously does not want to be taken seriously.

16. Sure beats whining about 2016

That's over, it's done. We control government now, pressure the holdouts to actually use that power.

21. Sounds an awful lot like "shouting into the ethers and dropping f-bombs all over Twitter" to me!

First things first.

Here is my list of demands for the Dems:

1. We didn't elect enough of you. I want more Democrats elected.

That's it.

This is directed not at Democratic lawmakers, but at every Democrat who, among other things, didn't vote for Hillary in 2016, no matter the reason. Enough of making demands on the lawmakers we failed to give enough power to act on our demands.

 :rotf: That would violate the 13th Amendment:

I don't know who Elizabeth C. McLaughlin is ( :rotf: nor does Wikipedia :rotf: ), but the legislative actions she proposes are obvious violations of the US Constitution, and several of her other proposals would set off internecine strife among Dems (so of cpourse I support those proposals! :rotf:  :tongue: ). All in all, whoever Elizabeth C. McLaughlin is, she'd make a perfect DUmmie!

That's called slavery and it's against the constitution.

6) I want Roe v. Wade codified into federal law with legislation introduced TODAY.

Golly. How come you didn't do this before?

Quote
7) I want the Green New Deal passed and codified.

Bills have been proposed; they've failed.

Quote
8) While we're at it, NATIONWIDE MASK MANDATE.

There is no constitutional authority.

Quote
9) I want every member of Congress who spoke at the 1/6 rally stripped of Committee assignments.

The caucuses assign their committee members.

Quote
10) I want every member of Congress who voted to overturn the election stripped of Committee assignments.

Speech and debate clause, mother ****er.

Quote
11) I want the sergeant at arms of the Senate and the House empowered to detain anyone who interferes with the 1/6 committee, including by defying subpoenas. This power was used in the past and needs to be reinstated for 1/6 witnesses, including Reps.

You only think you want that.
