Indivisible:

What is your elected thinking about? Reelection, reelection, reelection. As former congressional staffers, we wrote the original Indivisible Guide after Trump first won in 2016 to demystify how Congress works so that normal folks organizing in their own communities could better apply pressure to fight Trump’s agenda. We wanted folks to effectively rally behind Democratic allies, help mushy Democrats find their spines, and weaken the resolve of congressional Republicans who might ally with Trump.

We built that guide around Congress, but the basic lessons apply to how all electeds think. It works like this: your electeds care first and foremost about getting reelected and growing their own power. Some of the good ones care about doing good, and some of the bad ones care about doing bad, but regardless, they all know they can’t do anything unless they grow or maintain their base of support to win reelection or win higher office.
