I hope you know I'm agreeing with you. I want to see change too and it's why I advocate for people to reach out to their representatives right now. We are already hearing reporting of hundreds if not thousands of calls per day asking reps to not back current Dem leaders.

Change can't happen if we refuse to acknowledge the the systems in play and how different parts of the government function, which is where I started with all this.

More than anything I want engaged people to continue to be engaged but meaningfully and with purpose. Simply being upset over lack of progress or the speed of it happening aren't enough, despite our desire for that to be true.

There are millions of dollars and hundreds of legal experts involved in plans to dismantle the parts of government they don't agree with and they talk about it loudly. They celebrate their wins, regardless of how small or even true they are, loudly, and the uninformed notice. By refusing to acknowledge the small wins or even the path to this being realistic, you build no message of support to chase bigger wins. It actually does the opposite - you crush interest in change and in action, both because it builds a perception that there is no political win large enough to satisfy and because others will also hear this lack of celebration as a lack of outcome.

This is why I've spent all this time replying. We agree on it not being enough and that something must be done. We agree that this group of leaders hasn't earned trust. Where we disagree is in how it is being framed. Change of this magnitude needs to snowball. Win people over with quick wins within their political control and continue to press forward for more, with renewed support from the electorate.

Change of this magnitude will require sustained support over time to be successful and it doesn't happen if we won't even acknowledge when things did go right, however small it may be to start.
