Sitting on their hands makes a powerful statement. And a group of them did walk out mid-speech. I'm really sick of our self-destructive tendency to attack our own elected officials while worshipping some of the most superficial gestures.

96 members of the Democratic Women's Caucus wore pink in protest while attending the address. I nearly threw up. Couldn't find their pussy hats? Was this a Pelosi idea? Dems excel at being mockably ineffectual, handing the bricks to MAGATS to bean them with.

Stupid pink I agreed not because I don't agree with the pink sentiment, but that's not where the country is right this minute. People are insenced about Ukraine sitch and they could have rode that anger right into the speech wearing Ukrainian colors. Disconnected again and losing the momentum of the moment and having people trying to figure out what their point is. Bad at symbols? All their PR firms are circle jerking clueless.

Yes, I thought they would all turn up in blue and yellow. Even my husband has ordered a shirt like Zelenskyy was wearing.
