And there it is. Accommodation and acquiescence. Learned helplessness and preemptive surrender. Retreat and complicity. In the midst of an unprecedented assault on the constitutional order, the nominal opposition party fails to use the one key tool in its arsenal to push back. What a disaster.

If Dems were unwilling to fight over cabinet nominees and unwilling to fight over the budget/shutdown, it’s safe to assume they’re not going to fight over anything.

you have to make them prove they're on the good guy team, and the way to do that is to primary them until they break with schumer and leadership

this feels like a capital b Break. in any sane party system they have in any other country there would immediately be an internal challenge for power, and you'll see some primaries etc, but but the democratic party's entire apparatus exists to suppress it. it's over. party's dead stick a fork in it

if you *still* believed in the democratic party as a vehicle for change before this week i'd have called you naive. if you still believe it now you're either a collaborator or straight up stupid

chuck schumer and mitch mcconnell have the same ideology of senate leadership, which is: yes, you have to absorb some hatred and malcontent. but in return, you get to sabotage the democrats

A looming problem is my suspicion that there's no easy way to say to the rightfully extremely pissed off liberals and centrists that ~this~ is why "the left" has hated these guys [gestures at Democratic senators] so much this whole time. Many of them will read it as gloating and not an invitation.

i find this notion that public spending is illegitimate bizarre as a matter of economics but totally legible as a statement of moral economy. and as per any strict system of morality, the punishment is part of the appeal. they are punishing the american people for believing in the public good.

Some acknowledgement the poll “statement” you’re building the piece around is absolute bullshit would be nice, Greg. Also a bridge too far apparently.
An exert from Greg Bluestein’s (who has his head stuck up his entire ass) morning newsletter:

A poll released Wednesday from Cygnal - a favorite pollster of state Republicans - shows why.
The poll of 600 likely general election voters conducted this week shows Ossoff is deadlocked 44-44 against a generic
Republican. But the numbers shift 52-38 in favor of the GOP when voters are read this
statement:
"Jon Ossoff voted to allow men to play in women's sports if they claim to identify as a woman, taking away opportunities from our girls."

I’m no political expert but if Republicans start gutting social security and any Democrat responds with “I understand the need for reform, but” instead of “Social Security is good and works fine” that Democrat should be exiled like a stupid Napoleon

The Democrats strategy right now.
This meme is based on a scene from Arrested Development featuring the character Tobias Fünke talking to Lindsay Bluth.

A four -panel meme from Arrested Development. In the first panel, a man (Tobias Fünke) is labeled "DEMS" and is speaking to a blonde woman. The text reads: "The German liberals laid low and wanted to ride backlash against Hitler to power."

In the second panel, the woman asks, "Well did it work for those people?" The man appears to be thinking.

In the third panel, the man responds: "No, it never does. I mean, these people somehow delude themselves into thinking it might, but... but it might work for us."

The meme suggests a critique of political strategies, drawing a historical parallel.
