   I don't think the existing DNC is going to "save us", but I do think it's worthwhile to let them know there are consequences to the shit they're pushing in so called "safe districts".

     "caving" implies they wanted to do the right thing but gave in to other pressures. I assure you: they absolutely do not want to do the right thing here. They just want you to think they do.
     
     There is no caving happening.

     sleepily called my senators; left a message on voice mail for one, actually got a human on the other!
     
     Made it clear: continue to vote NO, pressure the other senators into voting no, the "future vote on ACA subsidies" is worthless in this environment, push for more in negotiations such as the prosecution of Greg Bovino, demilitarizing ICE, getting them off the streets, and calling for the resignation of Schumer as this is twice he's given up leverage (or attempted to), and that voters overwhelmingly pushed for a more aggressively progressive direction last Tuesday.
