I feel like a lot of very normie very moderate liberals prefer AOC to most other congressional Dems and there’s something there, something to build on.

Trump is trying to rewrite history by claiming that Russia did not start its brutal war with Ukraine. Why? To open up business opportunities in Russia for his family and friends. Trump is blatantly lying to the world to line his own pockets. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/20/w...

In addition to Congress being the place that makes the laws, pretty key thing, the constitution explicitly says Congress gets to create the postal system. It’s not left implied that that comes under law making generally. The President has no power to unilaterally abolish it and move it to commerce.

What's lacking is coordination & leadership. Plenty of Dem's doing stuff (also Raskin, AOC, Warren, Markey, others...) but unless it's coordinated, it's brownian motion. The lack of coordination has names: Hakeem Jeffries & Chuck Schumer. Vote them out of their positions and get things moving.

Same question: Any leaders, anywhere. Why are Democratic senators and reps so ineffectual? Why are professional scholarly organizations so quiet? What are prominent professional publications doing? Business leaders? Clergy?

Holy shit! You’ve got to see this town hall. Republicans are starting to get torn apart by their own constituents. Rep. Rich McCormick: “You don’t think I’m going to stand up for you?” Woman in the crowd: “You need to stand up.” Another woman: “Don’t bend over.” 🔥

It’s been a long fucking day, I’m tired, and I misspoke. Let me rephrase it in a more correct way. Fuck Hakeem Jeffries and almost every other elected Democratic official for forcing me to be the one to get arrested instead of them doing their goddamn job and being leaders.

I’ll keep pushing this line of analysis because I’m increasingly convinced the clearest path out of this mess is for Dems to adopt a relentless anti-corruption, anti-inequality, anti-oligarchy, pro-democracy platform. The Dem leadership hasn’t realized it yet, but they’re now a reform party.

Did they ask a few questions to determine the respondents’ knowledge of 1. Musk’s actions & 2. Separation of powers? Without that, the survey is kinda as meaningless as all surveys, but this one matters?
