Pressuring a floor vote was part of it in the context of working with 30 other national unions and progressive organizations in 2019 in the runup to the elections. Campaigning to "pressure politicians" to not vote for Pelosi and force a m4a vote is different and turned into a counterproductive shitshow with Jimmy Dore attacking everyone and calling them traitors and shit saying we dont need to organize and blaming DSA and nurses unions for this whole thing failing
politicians arent going to save us, idk why you want to stake your shit on just telling them you want them to do stuff, you gotta organize if you want to wield any sort of power
i dont form parasocial relations with politicians or expect them to win victories for me and tweeting at them to do something isn't a strategy but actively dissuading people from doing actual work to organize people and wield collective working class power is a weird "winning" strategy to undertake but you do you
the whole "online isn't real" thing is tiring tbh, obviously it has its impacts, people with large platforms splintering people up doesn't help with anything. people have to actually waste time dealing with this kind of stuff when it happens

Ok so how long did you want to wait for Pelosi and unions to agree to hold a vote?

If politicians don't matter then why do you care whether or not they play nice with Pelosi?
i dont
You cared enough to make this post
