Caution, Sir! I am eternally tired of hearing that word caution. It is nothing but the word of cowardice!
I'm no lawyer, but it seems the obvious response to this suit is to simply ask why didn't the Department of Jobbery sue Texas for doing the exact same thing.

Remember DNC, it doesn't matter who you run, Fox news will call them a socialist. You could endorse the corpse of Ronald Reagan and their first segment would be "Extreme socialist Reagan picked by Soros to destroy America"
Stop caring what fox news says, and listen to your base. It clearly works.

As things start to crumble - regardless of the mechanism - MAGAts will try to "reintegrate." Try claiming they only voted for "this good thing" not "that bad thing."
Try playing victim. "I was lied to!"
Don't let them.
Identify them now. Be ready when they try to escape their comeuppance.

Repub policies are pushing away the middle. Watch as they make minor tweaks to draw just enough back to keep power.
The Dems need to move now to grab up those drifters and hold on.
Holding the middle is where Dems fail.

I'm glad things went well for the Democrats yesterday. I truly, truly am.
But I'm already hearing about the "inevitable Blue Wave," like we've heard so many times in the last decade in similar situations.
Dems are going to sit on their asses, fluffing one another, and fuck this up. Again.

Over the last decade, I contributed quite a bit to Democrat candidates and PACs. Every dollar I gave to a Democrat physically hurt me. And in the end, they did fuck all with it.
Now I'm on every Democrat mailing list, begging for more cash.
Nope! A better use for that money is to arm the poor.
