Throwing trans folks under the bus will not make Republicans vote for you. They already have a Republican candidate, they won’t want your watered down “Republican lite”. Dems have got to learn than the strategic position IS the moral one if you know how to campaign and communicate.

I was not in the US needs to start over camp in 2016, though I knew we needed tons of incremental reforms. Now I am convinced that the US must be reconstituted if it is to move forward as a democracy, and maybe to have any hope of restoring it's standing as a mostly good actor in the world. It's sad

I told an Irish colleague of mine that it would take at least 20 years, and that is assuming there is some successful effort in the near term to right the ship, which itself is pretty uncertain.

Maybe a bonus reason, but I would be shocked if natural resources were a key driver here. Venezuela, sure we wanted the oil. Cuba, seems like Rubio is the chief reason to mess with it, and maybe to exploit it for resort properties.

Agree wholeheartedly, then Biden and Garland failed to meet the moment too, multiple times. They were stuck in the prior era, failed to see the new paradigm we were in, and moved slowly. I would have arrested him Jan 21, '26, and kept finding charges to try and hold onto him.

They do have an idea, and it involves employing every means of not having to face any sort of justice or accountability ever. If they feared that accountability they would not be acting like this. it is still a coup.

Thanks for getting here on this. I hope that establishment dems like you (no disrespect intended) show aome contrition to those of us who were screaming for this to be one of the first things out of congress when Biden came in. It will go a long way to unifying the party, which is needed badly.

Aren't elections a tool to allow parties to "peacefully give up power"? I agree Republicans will not give it up peacefully, so they will contravene the mid-terms in every way they can. We should all vote regardless, but when they don't honor our votes, what then?

I've met Jackson, he's a natural politician (in a good way). He's not "from away" like Collins' last challenger. He's not a Southern Maine Democrat. He's got a real shot. His biggest weakness is he's pretty establishment Dem, and the party is not super popular rn, but the GOP less popular still.

As I write here, it's totally incoherent to immunize the president from prosecution on the theory that he can be held accountable through the political process — and then to suppress the information that might allow Congress and the public to actually hold him accountable.
