It's past time to remember that the power players and decision makers in the 80s were coked out of their minds 90% of the time. Today's "leaders" probably are, too. Short-circuited brains are not capable of logical, rational, honest processing.

Group think makes me insane. You get to do *whatever* you want to do until the point that it stops me from doing what *I* want to do. What is so hard to grasp about that? Why do we care so much what other people think of us?!!?

The institutional Democratic Party is guided by an almost pathological level of conflict avoidance in almost every direction. “What can we do to make the least number of people mad?” is just a bankrupt way to operate.

@schumer.senate.gov You’re gambling with my life and the lives of my family and community, and they are not yours to gamble. I will fight for democracy but I will not fight with you bc you have decided it’s not worth it. You made yourself irrelevant. Step aside and let somebody else lead.
