I will vote against any of my House Reps or Senators in their next primary elections who vote to wimp-out and do nothing against this Repugnican assault.
To rely on the fortitude of the politician for great causes is to rely on the spines of worms.
How reliably you politician will do the right thing depends on how Strong, ruthless, single minded and disciplined is the voting block advocating for the right thing. How strong, ruthless. single minded and disciplined the voting block is depends on how many disparate groups with different pet priorities can be whipped into a discipline troop That subordinates pet priorities to ruthless pursuit of power that must come first before any pet priorities.
The non-GOP constituencies broadly continues the buck passing attitude of picking and choosing multitudes of pet causes and thinking in democracy the power belongs to the Voting individual. No. Nothing in Democratic politics has ever been nor will ever bee farther from the truth, The power belongs to the disciplined voting block in which the individual voter is subordinated To the collective priority of the block, and the block is ruthlessly strategic in gaining power as precondition to any policy objectives.
Form the ruthlessly disciplined voting block, set policy priorities most consistent to putting you in power, votes in ruthlessly strategic ways To gain that power, and you will win. Do something else, and you will lose. It is that simple.
You opponent knows this, when will you learn?
The so called democratic system is really one whose dynamics is as rigid as laws of physics, but you are pretending if you play by dungeons and dragons rules then the real laws of physics will adapt to suit you.
Power first, then principle, can get you some element of the principle. Principle first will get you nothing, not even the principle.
