Glad you like it. Here's a really deep cut, as they used to say, from Dream Police with a great bass intro and a much harder edge:

No Schumer. No Jeffries.
And they wonder why Democratic favorability is at an all-time low.
Zero leadership by its party's leaders.

Your "Capitulate Then Complain" strategy to save America is a political failure.

💯. Many folks view cinema & literature exclusively through today's perspective. Yet, if you consider the time and contemporaneous events & social norms, these like movies, books, newspaper & magazine articles are profound & often groundbreaking. (Mr. Smith was released after Poland was invaded.)

I agree, and that was 86 years ago. At least, back then, Frank Capra would ensure American ideals were victorious. Today's reality looks decidedly different.

In reverse order, IMO, most of the other 9 are positioning themselves for more senior positions regardless of the consequences.
Schumer hasn't changed. He's always been loyal to benefactors and Wall Street. Harry Reid is likely rolling over in his grave for turning the Senate to Schumer.

Every single Senate Democrat has agreed to unanimous consent more than 500 times since January 20th. That's is expediting the White House's agenda.
They do not demand quorum calls. That'd be inconvenient and interfere with their colleagues schedules & their own office meetings.
Club collegiality.

My opinion on the first idea only solidified after listening closely to Senator Schumer for weeks. He consistently responds to the administration's outlandish (read, illegal) actions with faux outrage and his vision to sweep the mid-term elections. IMO, the same calculus used to vote for cloture.

1. Senate Democrats are convinced they shouldn't stand in the way of the Republicans destroying everything in sight. As such, Senate Democrats believe that they will be held harmless & will succeed in 2026.
2. It's about collegiality - not objecting to unanimous consent & not demanding quorum calls.

And the Grey Old Lady can't blame an algorithm for this disparity. As the de facto paper-of-record for many folks, the NYT's editorial choices do create a perception and, in turn, an artificial reality.
