Yes, absolutely. For example, if in the next few weeks, Trump sends ICE officers to polls, you know what you do? You go anyway, you throw them a middle finger, and you walk into the ballot box and don't let them intimidate you.
What you don't do is despair and stay home.

I said this in a thread last night and in a thousand threads before it, but you really are doing the work of those who would destroy democracy and the rule of law when you are a doomer.
You can be aware of — and vigorously oppose — the lawlessness of this administration without insisting on doom.

One reason why I take such joy in noting how much of Reagan's agenda was passed by a Democratic House is to remind guys like this that ...much of Reagan's agenda was passed by a Democratic House
ALL those previous stops helped create Trump's constituency. Nichols STILL defends Reagan.
If that was MY record as a "politics expert," I'd have more humility in pontificating on what Dems should do. Arguably, if Dems had gone harder on holding the GOP accountable earlier, we wouldn't be here. /3

I fear I'm not being clear. This is the point: When El-Sayed invoked Usha/Papaw, he was making an argument *about JD Vance.* It's that Vance has cravenly compromised with racist elements within MAGA in ways that betray his own life experiences.
This is 100% accurate. That is what Vance has done.

Now that JD Vance is again pretending El-Sayed smeared Usha/Papaw, reupping this:
It is absolutely true that JD has compromised with some of the most vile racists in the MAGA coalition. JD hesitated before defending Usha against them. So El-Sayed is 100% correct:

Tom didn’t join the Democrats, is the impression I have. He just sees them as the only way to something resembling a free, liberal democracy in the medium term.
