A few fast observations:
The old Democratic strategy of “when they go low, we go high” is a loser.
While I appreciate its intent, peaceful demonstrations, petitions, and letter writing campaigns are passé and ineffective. The age of civil persuasion is dead.
A new political party (Democratic or other) needs a Machiavellian leader, a bit evil but unlike the Republican version, smart. (Maybe Mark Cuban?)
Now the Republicans are concerned about decorum?! Why didn’t this concern apply during Joe Biden’s State of the Union when Lauren Bobert and Marjorie Taylor Greene acted up like spoiled high school sophomores screeching for attention at a school dance.
Congressman Al Green was the only one Democrat with a backbone? When he was removed, all other Democrats should have walked out too.
Likewise, when the Associated Press was barred from White House press room, other legitimate press and news outlets should have left too.
The biggest slaughter this winter was not the Eagles beating the Chiefs in the Super Bowl, but the political thumping Republicans have handed the Democrats since Inauguration Day.
Joe Biden (or his enablers) and Merrick Garland are hugely responsible for the current political mess. They engaged in pillow throwing while Trump and the GOP went MMA.
The “reporter” who asked Zelensky why he was not wearing a suit to the White House must have received his journalism degree from Trump University.
Death knells have been announced periodically for both parties over the decades. However I hear a rattle anytime a Democrat politician speaks.
Communications from Democratic congressmen and women to constituents about how bad Trump is are useless. We get it. Things are bad and about to get worse. Create a plan or strategy and tell us what you are going to do as a party. How about someone stepping up as an effective opposition leader?
I would not count on midterms or any other future elections to change the political direction. First, not sure that they will take place. And second, very uncertain if they take place, whether the results will be “accurate.”
