And, you can also change the narrative yourself, by leading the public. Public pressure absolutely moves politicians. Sitting around waiting for others to take this seriously is failing. Making something the story and making the public care about it is the job of a politician.

IMO the argument is that you can make things into big enough deals that it matters. Khanna found Massey and found survivors and made the Epstein Files the gigantic story it should be. Only then did establishment Dems come along. You can, in fact, make things into big hairy deals if you do it right.

Okay Mike and @bencollins.bsky.social what’s the right way to get the rest of the world to impose crippling economic sanctions because “some Republicans will come to their senses” has been failing to happen for going on a decade

Everyone wants the fucking magic bullet. What you need is leadership that organizes people and moves things bit by bit in a better direction. It's about building a movement. Not flipping a switch.

Not shouting at you, sorry if came across as such. Pretty up to my neck with both the “strongly worded statement” people and the “shouting do something” but don’t have any ideas people in equal measure.
