Senator, you of all your peers has first hand knowledge of what OPSEC means to the boots ...(in the air).
As much as WE appreciate your clarion call in this, clearly something more dramatic & concrete is necessary in these times and in this particular instance.
The old ways & means don't cut it!

What? Is this a deviation from the well established playbook?
"Neuter the torpedoes! Full steam ahead!"
We have been lulled as a populace into a torpor that even the most egregious of offenses does not immediately rouse us.
WE seem tired, lethargic and prone to shut down!
...Which was the plan.

Sec B, THEY have gotten away with a reckless campaign against the structures of Govt & the American people for 60+ days without a structured Opposition in Govt.
It will take strong voices & feet on the ground to staunch this assault.
You are poised to be a voice to move those feet.
LEAD US NOW!

As a supporter of Manned Space Flight ( no emphasis on the semantics of Man/Mankind), the avowed goal to send "a woman and a person of color" on the first Artemis landing seemed patently offensive as criterion. It also seemed blatantly ignorant as a political mantra.
No fan of Maga, but...

That is the point. The system does not address the current assault on it and the Pandora’s Box that this brazen assault has opened will no longer be addressed by what once reigned as comity.

The maxim was :
Move Fast and Break Things....
"Things" not People.
What was implicit in this was a humanist goal of betterment by destroying unnecessary or unjust barriers.
The very core of this has been forgotten.
The empowered now become that which needs to be forcibly broken fast.

Every recycled invective you invoke against this man was not convincing enough to stop his reelection.
Your greatly "cultivated" like/follow realm innately knows these & many many more.
The issue at hand is authoritarian political action & the upheaval it has created.
The Action is in the Now.

Before that, there were producers who were more filmmaker than bean counter... who held the bean counters at arms length... and who, after a 14 hour day not only paid for but heartily shared a beer or two on the back of the working trucks...
They made "new content" back then...

Entirely too much "talking to" these days....
The D Party has been "talking to" whom they assume to be their base for two generations. That base has moved on...
It is moribund in process, procedure, application and action.
Old rules do not apply in this trench fight.
Party serves itself only!

So we defer to him to coddle one man's ego and take the ego-scratch as affirmation that a peaceful end is in sight.
WE are not on the precipice.
WE ARE LEMMINGS....
Or we are not.

Jack, you continue to appeal to a ‘Party’ that is both moribund and long out of touch. If the current situation has not energized what stands as the ‘Party in Opposition’ then We - the oppressed - must

The "official' erasures of history are designed precisely to keep the potential Opposition at bay on distracting chum bait...
Slight of heavy hand.
WE can restore the history - for that is done in times of relative peace.
WE are not at peace.
After all this time... recognize the distraction!

"If we are going to be the Party of the Opposition...."
The D Party as currently constituted is moribund. It's bigger than Schumer or a gerontocracy or any simple digestible metric. These times demand something more direct in Opposition.

I am a fan of yours.
I am afraid though that WE are going to earnestly talk, text, follow & like ourselves into a bunch of gulags.
The action necessary at this point is far dirtier and direct.
As they try to pick off relatively unprotected fruit, WE need to be in the streets IN NUMBERS to OPPOSE.
comment in response to

We are shackled by 'comfort' that really is nothing but an opiate against effective opposition. There may be no clarion call to wrest the people from their keyboards short of a jackboot on the doorstep.
The Veteran though, is entirely correct. Implied is something more violent than earnest key-taps
comment in response to

The very electronic cloisters from which we largely operate now also cloaks how close that 'danger' might be.
Yes. We need to be in the streets. We need to converse and understand our local situations. We need to approach the very fences in our back yards and talk with our neighbors.
comment in response to
post
Unfortunately, we have largely become a people who are only comfortable registering protest from the security of our keyboards. We are 'danger' averse.
There is no 'safe space' from which to comfortably combat imminent danger. And, 'danger' as a concept does not seem real until it crosses portals.

The Revolution will be more of an eventual evolution of the Pandora’s Box DJT opened. Decorum means nothing until a new decorum is ‘negotiated’.
We must be prepared for nothing to be the same.
The people still bestow legitimacy on the Govt.
MAGA makes this Govt more illegitimate each day.
comment in response to

The Opposition is more organic than the traditional Party system can adapt into or serve.
The disaffected are rising in the streets, at town halls, & across neighbor’s fences as the actual effects of mad reign begin to manifest.
It is more than trad. Party as many voted across the board.

WE must recognize the threat for what it is. Neither the old Rs or Ds could thwart or effectively oppose the melee.
We need to

As true as this might be, it has not raised the effective Opposition to it that such history might have taught. We play childish catch-up.
Here, WE spin and point and line up our old 'leaders' for summary execution as if the old folkways and standards could apply.
THEY DON'T

MAGA plays a very different game of politics - one that neither the Rs nor Ds could address or counter.
It will take a new Opposition political game to do this.

It's not about replacing Schumer - whose recent 'defection' will be judged differently by history...
It's about replacing the creaky concepts of a Party that no longer reads the room nor leads towards the light.
comment in response to

These times have exploded the old concepts. They no longer effectively apply. They have only clumsily done so for a generation.
There are Those in Power
&
Those in Opposition
Make no mistake, clutching to belief that old constructs will guide us is foolhardy.

If you think there is a Democrat Party anymore, you are just as deluded as the vestiges of the Republican Party who cling to that ideal as MAGA runs rampant with its entrails.
Schumer's 'defection' if viewed as a party event ignores the pragmatic action needed to slow the melee.

I am not embarrassed. I'm hopeful... that one brave and righteous leader can somehow demonstrate to the still blitz-dazzled that there is indeed an effective way to fight back.
The world will not turn its back on Ukraine simply because Cheeto Jesus couldn't extort from it and threw a tantrum.

We have just witnessed what no other Opposition to the dangerous fools could yet muster.
A hearty and defiant "GO F YOURSELF ! " for the world to see.
Incompetence wrapped in bravado are the fraying fabric of this MAGA LARP WEEKEND!
The Fools show themselves.
Zelensky leaves with a big win!
