yeah leadership is badly misreading the party's temperature. i think they're going into basically SOP on pivoting to the center and conciliation in response to an electoral defeat and they are reading calls for resistance as calls to move to the left but those are two different things

feel like there's going to be a double whammy in 2026 with both primaries hitting more Dems and a likely Democratic explosion in the House if the GOP nuke Medicare and Social Security
i do not think party leadership is ready

And what conciliation? Less than 5% of the caucus voting for that stupid censure?
2) you might want to compare to historical votes against cabinet nominees
But it barely matters bc procedurally 0 no votes=47 no votes bc 47 isn’t greater than 53
but you are correct that the dems wrote a churchillian promise and are now trying to triangulate between “business as normal” and “CONSTITUTION BANZAI!“
the small issue is that you can’t compromise on do-or-die
Not necessarily radicalising left but radicalising into a American Crusade/Jihad against reactionaries
You can’t answer that, you’re not ahead of the curve.
Sure, lay low for a month or two but a real leader would now be out in front with a down but not defeated message.
Feckless corporate shills, the lot of them.
Because centrist "respectability" brainworms seem to have afflicted at least some of the Capitol.
Or does he actually think not whipping is the right call. (A character mistake that necessitates his replacement)
If it's trying to avoid a fight in the open, it's a stupid choice, but one I can understand.
But being *unwilling* to even try is not something that we should allow from leadership. This is actually his job. And he's being derelict.

Yeah, it's not 1998 anymore.
