She shared her message to D.C. lawmakers: "Do your jobs, listen to your constituents. We should not have to put our bodies on the line for you to listen to us."

I was going to post this earlier…

“Change the rules of democracy because a small number of us want them changed and will threaten you if you don’t because DEMOCRACY!”

“And if you don’t we won’t eat, just like last time, except we stopped because we were really hungry and it was Christmas the holiday break and Jimmy’s mom makes THE BEST gingerbread.

But we’re back and this time we’re totally serious, for realz!”

You're just channeling Bernie Sanders who said that legislation is opposed by ONE senator.

No, sir. It's opposed by 51 senators. THAT'S what democracy looks like.

As Byron York tweeted (paraphrasing), "Perhaps the rules of the Senate should be changed so that it's only 48 senators that need to vote on a bill to get it passed."

ETA: And (pounds fist on table) we are NOT a democracy, and haven't been for almost 250 years.

I believe that I was the one that pointed out that it was 51 senators, and more importantly millions of their constituents that blocked that travesty of a bill.
