An older guy, spending time ignoring that I'm an older guy, and, sadly, failing at the mission. Sure, I have some wisdom, but you'll have to hear a 15 minute prequel story about a topic with vague connections before the actual wisdom is presented.
Shumer, Jefferies both need to go. Old school, "It's our turn" corporate Dems. I keep saying, the only way we get what we deserve is when the established Dems thinks our needs are more important then the cooperate moneyfunnel.

I keep swapping the scenario, and think how the GOP would've responded if they were in our position. Full force, no holds barred media blitzkrieg. Because they know that works. "When they go low we go high" is a good slogan, but when democracy is on the line, not great advice.

Only if the Dems play by the GOP playbook. Or, they could table a "progressive" agenda (you know, the radical stuff the rest of the world has) and force the GOP to vote down what their constituents need. But... That requires the old school Dems to give up the money funnel. Stay pissed, push harder.

Why did we not stop them...? First, the only way "we" could stop them, without voting them out, is by force. And that's what MAGA is hoping for. Second, a lack of leadership. Why isn't ONE Dem with a following, a voice, organizing a national strike? We want to fight, but our means are few.

Yeah, it's A.I., but why this image? Who is this going to sway? His non supporters? We expect this behavior. His supporters? They celebrate this behavior. Next time have him with Xi Jinping or Putin.

Well, to be fair, McConnell decided on the judges, and screwed with the process to get them seated. But, yeah, tRump was around...somewhere. Doing...something.

That's actually a part that should be discussed more. The wealthy will ALWAYS have privileged access, ask anyone in healthcare. All we want is for us to not have to pay the insurance comapanies so the CEO/ BoD can afford that access.
