The problem remains that many Democrats seem filled with the milk of human kindness and haven't gotten it in their skulls that any concession to the nutjobs who have subscribed to the Cult of Trump is like tethering yourself to a rabid dog.
All those who appeared at the inauguration should have stayed away: Trump was doing what a lot of cult leaders do: humiliating them, especially Joe Biden. It was quite the spectacle, and it was tasteless, vulgar, and oafish. It made the country look terrible, as do all those stupid people who've fallen for this creature.
Just a note: A friend of mine at the WHO says: The American pull out is insane, it could damage the USA quite badly.
Anyway. Keep up the good work. I can't afford a subscription, so I'll just stay in the periphery.
I am a life long Democrat because I valued their advocacy and policies that support community and 90%of this countries residents. Now it’s not what are they doing.? It’s what they are not doing. I agree with you, there is NO common ground with an autocratic felon rapist grifter with the intelligence of a squirrel ( sorry squirrels) . Don’t go along to get along, stand up with courage like Michelle Obama and AOC. Sitting at the inauguration listening to him disparage Joe Biden , our country and those immigrants who risk everything to make tier families safe. It preemptive
It's pretty terrifying how prepared he was (thanks to Project 2025, no doubt) on Day 1. I wasn't sure that denying him any Democratic votes for any of his nominees (at least the less dangerous ones) was the way to go, but I am sure now. You are right. We need to show that we are waiting for him to roll out all his horrible plans and see what catastrophe he will make of our democracy.
This is exactly why I’m a subscriber. I’m incensed with the feckless Dems thinking they should give as much as an inch to this traitor/dictator/felon/lunatic and his band of billionaire bros. That’s why any of them who showed up to his inauguration were validating all of his lies and excusing his crimes and treason. Thanks to those who had the good sense to stay away. Right now, when we need a rapid response team to the firehose of disinformation/misinformation/unconstitutional EOs/releasing of violent felons/etc., we have instead an internal fight for the next DNC chair. While I would otherwise welcome a robust debate, we don’t have that luxury anymore. There’s a clear choice who we need right now (Ben Wikler) and we need Ken Martin, Martin O’Malley and the rest of the second tier candidates to concede gracefully and let him get to work ASAP. As an aside, as much as I respect O’Malley, he couldn’t even stand up to that clown MTG at a recent hearing so how can he be the voice of the opposition during these dangerous times. Please keep beating the drum - no capitulation on any bill, nominee, or issue. Thank you!!
This capitulation by the Democrats is sickening. It is clear that they lack the will to fight. New leaders have to emerge in these dangerous times, who are ready and able to stand strong against this onslaught. I am waiting to see who emerges as the voice of the opposition. Right now there is no one filling that void.

I’m a life long Democrat and will always be one BUT our leadership has to start fighting back.
This is what they got to lower the price of eggs.

Strangely while I was adding to my message I was getting over written. I didn’t finish my thoughts.
