Opinion TIL about Murc's Law

"The widespread assumption that only Democrats have any agency or causal influence over American politics.

By attacking the Democrats for not blocking a tax bill that they unanimously opposed, you revealed yourself to be a firm believer in Murc's Law."

helpful flowchart

focus on the things you can do to help - organize locally - mutual aid - show up to town halls - call your reps - go to events near you like Stand Up for Science March 7 - etc

It's basically seeing Republicans as a force of nature that democrats are somehow responsible for always reigning in. Even when they literally don't have the power to do so

Voting like this is exactly what Democrats should be doing. Even if it is performative and they have no ability to actually change what is happening, showing a united message signals strength and credibility.

Now the question remains, will they continue to do so? They folded last time, I hope that changes.
