In a functional party system, this kind of capitulation in the face of authoritarianism could mean the end of the Democratic Party.
In our system, it could mean the end of the two party system. Neither party can represent the pro-democracy majority. It's time for something new.

One problem is people don't realize how big California is. They lump everybody together as if all 40 million Californians think and act alike. If you study this graph carefully...

That video has to be shared and watched. A content creator called Johnny Palmadessa was recording a video with Congresswoman Maxine Dexter in the rotunda when Johnson’s Sergeant at Arms tried to prevent them from filming. That constitutes a clear attempt to silence the freedom of speech.

I’ll keep pushing this line of analysis because I’m increasingly convinced the clearest path out of this mess is for Dems to adopt a relentless anti-corruption, anti-inequality, anti-oligarchy, pro-democracy platform. The Dem leadership hasn’t realized it yet, but they’re now a reform party.

The utter stupidity of pursuing a criminal trial against someone for throwing a sandwich that bounced off a bullet proof vest pissing away hundreds of thousands of dollars for this joke is the perfect encapsulation of this Administration.

Laura Loomer, a far-right conspiracist, is now credentialed to cover the Pentagon.
Legitimate news organizations out.
Crazy social media conspiracy theorists in.
That’s the result of Trump’s decades-long attack on “fake news” - now it really is fake.

We don't have an elected official problem in the US, we have a electorate problem. The citizens selected this enemy of the people to serve in the highest office of the land, then selected sycophants and conspiracists to Congress to support his anti-democracy rule. SCOTUS+Citizens United did this
