She's thinking "parliamentary tactics" is what's going to save the country.
Ma'am: Republicans have shown multiple times they are willing to kill to have their way. How will "breaking quorum" stop them?
She's talking strikes and mutual aid too. A multipronged approach that includes every means we have from political power, to people power, to revolutionary power (mutual aid being fundamentally revolutionary) is the only way through this.
We don't win if we keep nitpicking and attacking eachother.
As opposed to doing absolutely nothing.
LOL
Go vote for Schumer some more.
Sometimes breaking quorum requires a big, heavy stick.
Who is Quorum and why is he the only one we're breaking?
