@smith.senate.gov and your @democrats.senate.gov colleagues
Earn your pay! Make a stand. Pull your people together and let them know that the America people, aka their constituents, have had enough of your soft shoe approach. We are pissed!
If you need a clue, look at Reps AOC, Crockett, Frost.
Lead or get out of the way!
AIPAC won't let the Democrats tear a hole in Trump because they are desperate to have Trump-Kushner-Netanyahu COMPLETE THEIR VILE GENOCIDE NOW because the younger generations won't have it.
Cave.. it will pass. I have no confidence in them to think otherwise.
There doesn't appear to be a leader, just individuals with greater or lesser profiles. Where is the opposition party?
It's still a strange concept, looking at it from here, to have a political party without a leader, as such.
There's a strand of thought that we should elect our Parliament by sortition. Various (many self serving) voices against it but I don't think I'd have any strong objections.
This paragraph in the article for bipartisanship:
“With Axelrod, Warner, et al., it is a distaste for confrontation, a belief that Americans will reward a responsible party still committed to norms of civility and bipartisanship”.
