He is a nice guy and I do think he's one of the good guys, but we're in different situation as you see clearly. He should be primaried to see if he has the spirit for the fight (though I hope this nightmare is over by then).

Every Dem senator up for election in 2026 should be primaried, even the good ones. If they want to fight for us, let them fight for the job. Kaine, especially, should have a challenger in '30.

Exactly so. Beginning to think collapse is the only way to rebuild the political order. Dems don't have the nerve, even if they did have the power.

That's what's described in the thread, but at some point they have to put a gun in their hands. The abused will take matters into their own hands at some point.

I think you're right about Stalinism, but in the end maybe the troops will have had enough of being treated like meat puppets for Putin's madness.

Yes, but sounds like it's suicide either way. Thinking of America troops who fragged their superior officers in Vietnam.

It's amazing that more commanders are not killed by their own troops. I mean, if you have nothing left to lose . . .
