I think allowing print and physical media would enable using signs outside your building, use branding on your documents, etc. plus make it more valuable for the already dying media of print, and also pretty much make advertising an opt in situation since you can choose to engage in it, rather than having something like the fucking sphere blazed into your retina with the power of 15 suns in the middle of the night.
oh i forgot they're just passive observers to what people think about who to blame. it's not like any of them have access to the media or a microphone or anything. if internal poll showed that; that only proves this is a massive messaging disaster from the democrats.
yes, so why quit? this is snatching an L from a win-win situation: by holding out they were either gonna force republicans to cave and get what they want, which would allow them to brag about bringing the party in power to their knees for the good of the people, making the republicans look weak af, or they would not cave but prolong this shutdown which makes republicans less popular every minute and allow dems to run on it every election going forward.
what is this cope dude. they held for 40 days and got zilch. drew attention to what, the fact that they can literally do nothing, like absolutely nothing of value at all, in any circumstance? mission accomplished if that was the goal.
also raise whose awareness? who's gonna do anything? it's their job to do things in congress; whose awareness is gonna make a change? what are the newly aware people supposed to do now? storm the capitol?
how long should they hold out? until republicans cave or the the inevitable regime change. what's the point of holding out for any period of time if you're going to cave eventually? this was literally the only leverage they had. now they have signalled that they don't stand for anything and republicans never need to negotiate on anything ever again.
why would the conservative parents know what it sounds like
