2 things Repubs fear: "disengaged" voters getting engaged AGAINST THEM, & most voters finally realizing that billionaires are monsters, not heroes to be idolized. Both are happening right now. This is Game Change territory & DJT knows it. Repubs can't survive 1 more election & they know it.

A war rages in the Democratic consulting class about whether Dems should go "moderate" or "progressive" in 26 and 28. @gelliottmorris.com argues that most voters are not ideologically moderate, they are disengaged. I found similar results from 2024, which he discusses in this post.

Even 10 Dem Senators is still a big minority of Senate Dems (45+2). So if a majority of Senate Dems are actually opposed to this CAPITULATION, they should tell Chuck they will call a caucus vote and replace him if he proceeds. It's time to end appeasement & put the fighters in charge.

Let me get this straight. 40 Dem Senators oppose a CAVE, 8 are ok. So how about this: the MAJORITY of Dem Senators tell Schumer they will be demanding a leadership vote to ensure the will of the majority prevails. Fire Chuck, elect Chris Murphy Leader, and shut this capitulation shit down.
