No matter the obstacles, the Dems must follow Mamdani’s example of entertainingly updating the American people constantly. As long as people know it’s Trump holding things up & Dems are working hard, they will accept delays.

Finland is looking at how to adapt Ukraine-style antitank obstacles to their much colder border areas.
The goal is to deter an attack by convincing Russia that an attack would fail due to strong defensive lines.
Hopefully it works, and those defences are never tested.

The appealing part about bigotry is that you don't engage with the gymnastics at all and just tumble through the obstacles like you're in a pachinko machine, flowing through the path of least resistance

“We wanted to hold him accountable, but we’re always tripping over some obstacle or another and kind of failing to really get started” - more often than you’d want to believe, this happens because Dems are intentionally walking into obstacles, for plausible deniability.

It was cost effective and more money going to food rather than paperwork.
But republican will spend any amount if money to put up obstacles. Not so much on food.

Jeffries and Schumer ain’t it.
They’re incredibly unpopular.
They’re obstacles to the direction the party is moving.
They’re completely uncharismatic.
They’re both tied in with corporate and special interests unpopular with voters.
They both come out of the Old Guard that’s been failing.
