House dems are PISSED at what Schumer just did. This is the case where outside voices are maximally helpful - when people on the inside of the party want him out. Let’s build continued pressure. This will not happen overnight, it will happened when we keep the pressure consistently high

      Keep in mind Dem leadership in the house is pissed. Pelosi publicly told senate dems to “listen to the women” and named a senator calling for voting no on cloture. House leaders can pressure senators and the public going along with it makes their case easier

      Plus there were plenty of people that flipped on this very bill because of the public pressure. It wasn’t enough to block it in this particular case, but we came rather close. They had to delay the vote for like 4 hours because they didn’t have the votes assured

      We can build sustained pressure. It’s not going to happen overnight but it can happen. Calling is step 1
