“Indivisible is urging people who are scared to call their member of Congress, whether they have a Democrat or Republican, and make specific procedural asks,” Greenberg said.

“Our supporters are asking Democrats to demand specific red lines are met before they offer their vote to House Republicans on the budget, when Republicans inevitably fail to pass a bill on their own.”

    There’s a whole lot of nothing here but sure go ahead and take it at face value and jump on board the complain train. This article doesn’t cite a single usable source or event to back up this headline. The closest it gets is this sort of thing:

    a lot of people who were like, ‘We’ve got to stop the groups from doing this.’ … People are concerned that they’re saying we’re not doing enough, but we’re not in the majority," said one member.

    This reads exactly like a trump quote. A lot of people are saying. I don’t care. This isn’t even journalism. Axios can be just as big a POS as any other source sometimes. This one’s clickbait. I’m reading too many venting comments here by people who obviously didn’t get past the headline.

    Edit: You know exactly what I’m talking about, guy. Don’t play dumb. Utilize your critical analysis skills. I’m obviously criticizing the source for a reason. No need to take lazy swings at me. Unsurprisingly, his comments are abusive elsewhere, as well as totally lacking in self-awareness. (Trying to load screenshot of him screaming and cussing at others but not working. I just started here yesterday. Will figure it out. I have to say, I’ve been on reddit since ~2005 and Lemmy is fckn crushing it!)

      Liberals turning into “fake news!!” idiots when faced with direct quotes of Democrats literally telling they’re base to fuck off and stop expecting anything of them.

      The article directly cites at least 2 liberal orgs directing people to call Democratic politicians to do as much as they can to oppose Republicans, and directly quotes multiple Democrats directly relating to this and trying to insist there’s nothing they can do. I don’t know what more you want.
