Scream it out! Roe v. Wade edition

Former congressional staffer here. Don't write them, they aren't swayed. They don't even see your letters. Don't call - it's a 23 year old answering the phone who doesn't care.
SHOW UP. Seriously. Mobilize beyond writing and calling. Like I said, sign up to be an election official. Run for local office. Volunteer for local abortion funds if you don't have the money, you can at least help with admin support. There are a lot of senate elections that REALLY matter this year. Georgia. North Carolina. PA. Show up - make calls for those campaigns. Get these pieces of shit out of there.
I do have a question for you about effective campaigning.
I have gotten onto a couple of lists where I write postcards to voters, reminding them to vote. I have done a lot of phone banking in the past, but it seems now that almost no one will answer a phone call unless they know the person calling. Does phone banking still work?

Maybe this is the wrong time to ask such a mundane question, when there is outrage to be voiced.

I believe it does work.
From a voter perspective when they leave a VM even if I didn't answer it keeps the fact that elections are coming up in the back of my head. And even that alone is a good thing given that so many people end up not voting.

From a campaign perspective. I have done phone banking for a couple of local campaigns and I have done other work in local campaigns such as volunteer coordinator etc and evenn changing 1 voter's mind is helpful bc then they turn around and engage people around them

Its one of those things where you might not see the results right away but seriously, everything helps!!

Phone banking can work, but now there is text banking. I get texts all the time from campaigns and the party.
 
Fuck fuck fuck
I don't have time to say more right now, but will be back eventually. outrage fatigue is kicking my ass and it is devastating that stuff I have given my life to improve has reverted to worse than in my mother's lifetime.
Arrrrrrgggghhhhhh!
 
I just seen the news and I'm in disbelief.. 😳 this is so fucked up

The conservative justices probably don't realize that this will most likely have a major backlash in 2024 and rightfully so because this is the dumbest thing the Supreme Court has ever done

Ahhh, so you're one of those worthless spammer assholes? Why the fuck do you think people stopped answering the phone? Because of worthless spammer assholes, that's why.
 
I block them and report them as Spam, hoping to get the worthless spammer asshole accounts shut down.
They aren’t spammer accounts. Political calls also don’t count for ‘do not call purposes’ so you’re really just making more work for yourself.
 
I'm hoping for November to increase the current majorities.
Which majorities? Right now, the Dems have a majority in the house and senate. If you’re going to make stupid arguments and statements, at least make them less stupidly?
