Seth Moulton "argues compromise is the best way to push back against Trump's agenda." Nope nope nope nope nope. The best way to push back against Trump's agenda is to PUSH BACK AGAINST HIS AGENDA. Nope to just about everything in this interview. Just NO.

If they help then Dems will ALSO get zero credit AND they will normalize the extreme, fascist shit that gets passed.
Which ideas are the worthwhile ones? WHICH IDEAS?
Oppose. Blame. Message.

However much of what trump & Co want to do is radical & anti American. It betrays American values, the constitution & democracy.
Trump & Co want to radically reshape America to be more like russia.
No thanks, not interested.
And then you end up taking them every time?
That’s what the Dems do when they offer the compromise position upfront.
Meanwhile the rest of the world looking at US politics right now…

The GOP is the clown car cannibal we keep inviting to supper and then we wonder why it’s getting so damn hot in here
It's not a percentages game. The trick is you oppose him on things as they come up.
When he nominates a Neo-Nazi to run defense, you oppose him. When he tries to ban vaccines, you oppose him. When he wants to invade Greenland .....
And I say this as someone who has watched abuse enablers her whole fucking life. Coincidentally, those are the exact same people who vote GOP every single time
Stay classy Democrats.
There is nothing in trump's agenda that helps regular people.
Dems need to block everything and give the simple, factual reasoning: "This will harm the middle class and/or damage the economy and/or raise the deficit."
Block and repeat over and over again.
I'm done with the cowards.
It's beyond time to acknowledge the new normal.
No more Mr. Nice Guy!
1) They just jam Trump’s full agenda down America’s throat unilaterally via reconciliation.
2) Those who voted Trump against their economic interests feel vindicated.
Saying ‘we told you so’ only goes so far …
2. Those people are going to feel vindicated no matter what. Unfortunately their perceptions are not based on reality.
2B. There are a lot of people who will find their fire and support you if you actually fight.
What a spineless loser.
They can't work with each other - if any of them wants something done make THEM come to YOU. Don't comply in advance.
Yeah, no thanks congressman.
A few months ago, the Dem controlled Senate reached out to Repubs to help create a bipartisan border bill. They gave the reins to Sen Lankford (R-OK) who drafted a draconian border bill. The Dems agreed. Trump wasn't even the GOP POTUS nominee but told them to vote it down. They did.
JUST NO !
But at the end of the day, they only do what their donors tell them to.
AND WE COULD HAVE HAD A WOMAN. OF COLOR. TO LEAD US NOT INTO TEMPTATION. CHRIST.
It's no wonder I'm angry at everyone and everything.
This whole, "Ok, how about we just throw a few marginalised communities under the bus, so they'll be less awful to the rest?" approach is utter garbage.
Moulton has ALWAYS been a show horse, not a workhorse. Scratch that: he doesn't even put in the work to put on an effective show, but he wants to be part of the show. Horse's ass.
At least he's not maga. I think 🤔
10 people at a table, 1 of them a Nazi. The other 9 won't leave, therefore there are 10 fuckin Nazis at that table.

which keeps moving!
German politicians, bureaucrats, and the public compromised in the 1930s. You cannot compromise with oligarchs, authoritarians, and their sycophants.
