     I find this so upsetting and disappointing. 2 million people are in immanent danger of ethnic cleansing in Gaza, at the behest of the President of the United States who wants a colony on the Mediterranean. The president is planning wars on Panama, Greenland, and Canada. But the Democrats, one of the only potential brakes on this insanity, are going to focus on kitchen table issues instead.

     I guess the question I'd ask is, what are the most important things for Democrats to stop Trump and the Republicans from doing? And the question they're asking themselves is, what topics can we make a big deal about that will win an election in 2026 and 2028? And I guess those are two different questions.

     @faithpeterson it's the only game they know how to play. They don't know how to meet this moment.

     They had another excerpt from an NPR interview of Chuck Schumer where the interviewer said that they had reported on many backsliding democracies, and that often the opposition didn't realize what was happening until it was too late. Could that be happening now? Schumer was like, flatly, no.

     @evan jfc they really don't understand the nature of the emergency. We're barreling toward a constitutional convention - at best - and they're acting like they just need a couple of percentage points in the polls tho success in the midterms

     @fernandomorgan I don't assume anything. I think you're talking to the Democratic politicians, not me.

     @evan you assume that the “can you find me X votes” president will allow fair elections and someone will resist him like it was 2020?
