Always bonkers when people try to imply that disability or neurodivergence somehow absolves one of potentially being cruel or abusive. Apart from the implied dehumanisation there in going "well, disabled people simply lack the complexity to be Bad like Normal People" like

I think the thing that really made the Joyce Carol Oates tweet sting so bad is that it's a nerd power fantasy, this devasting, eloquent putdown that hurts worse than anything a bully can physically do to you, and that's the kind of thing he thinks he's supposed to be doing

Senator scolds the voters for daring to think that he and his colleagues might be accountable to them.
The sooner we get past internal recriminations and back to fighting united, the better off we all are — the likelier our victory next November.

This is so insane because it assumes that the disjuncture is among Democrats broadly when it is actually between *people who vote Democrat* and *the people they voted into office*

ASKING OUR REPRESENTATIVES TO ACTUALLY REPRESENT US IS NOT FIGHTING IT’S JUST ASKING YOU TO DO THE FUCKING JOB WE PAY YOU FOR
But there are real dangers out there that must be fought; and energy spent fighting each other is energy lost to that bigger fight.

God I want to see a million “Dems demanding new leadership” articles today, I want it to be a narrative Schumer can’t escape
Democrats are demanding new leadership after Schumer failed to stop a GOP-backed funding deal that doesn't guarantee continued health care subsidies. Progressives like Ro Khanna blasted him for giving in and warned premiums could soar as a result.
Democrats Call for New Leadership After Schumer Caves on “Terrible” GOP Deal
“If you can’t lead the fight to stop healthcare premiums from skyrocketing … what will you fight for?” said Ro Khanna.

To be clear, the big strategy they're pursuing here is to wait for the GOP to break its worthless promise yet again and then go to the electorate and say "We trusted them and gave them what they wanted, and they lied!" which is definitely a thing voters like and respect.
Shaheen: "We've heard from a number of our colleagues on the other side of the aisle that they're willing to come to the table, they're willing to work with us once the govt is open to get this done. We've heard the same thing from the White House. So now we'll see if they're really gonna work w/us"
