No one in my orbit near or far talks about what is happening out loud. No one wants to change the vibe of the dinner or expose which 'side' your colleagues are on. In my orbit of the deep south US, there are no -and never were- MAGA hats or flags or the equivalent from progressives. I, who operates in a world of mostly reasonable people, haven't been a witness to an IRL discussion of politics since the election. It's taboo. And here is our demise. I'm complicit.
I really think everyone criticizing her for asking someone else to do something is misinterpreting the message here. It's not a cry for help, it's a rallying call. She's not asking someone else to do something, she's saying we all need to do something.

No one's coming to save us. We have to do something. Why we aren't making Congress uncomfortable is something I'll never understand.
