It’s sort of excruciating watching progressive Congresspeople tweet out their frustration with obviously the same sense of powerlessness that the rest of us feel.

If only we had the ability to have some collective power. Like I dunno maybe we could vote for somebody to act as a representative and then I dunno they would represent our collective interests instead of representing the people that didn’t elect them. Just a thought

To me it's infuriating. We clearly see maneuvers and ways they can factionally use their power to push the progressive agenda but they continually balk then feign frustration via tweet. The mvmts that put electeds into office require them to use their pwr in order to grow.

Might feel the same but it's not the same. They have power and we don't.
Oh please. None of them are worried about food, shelter, or their health like we are, and they all have way more power to do something about it than we do. It's excruciating, but not for the reasons this seems to imply.

Thank you, i'm really getting tired of their tweets lacking spine

It’s a good thing. Let the world see our frustration, and let that frustration influence hearts and minds.

there are no progressive politicians, not even the ones we would think are
