    If a lawmaker at a singular event gets into the feed twice it’s because it mattered. If it gets into the feed 4 times per day for a week, it’s because it’s because somebody wants to push a narrative. In the case of Al Green, the narrative is that Dems aren’t good enough unless they’re getting dragged out of Congress.

      You say that like it’s a bad thing. It’s not, because throughout history in the face of bad governance, when normal measures fail. People are expected to make a scene

        We need every Democrat present in congress as much as humanly possibly. The margin for error on roll calls is 3 votes. If every Democrat is present and votes against, the Republicans can lose 2 votes and still pass the law.

        Making a scene and being removed is not only ineffective, it is counterproductive to protecting American citizens.
