This is on point. Read the entire piece but the key takeaway for those of us who are grasping for a defense is this: “Democratic leaders have had six months to come up with a plan. If there’s a better plan than a shutdown, great. But if the plan is still nothing, then Democrats need new leaders.”

Good piece by #RossBarkan on a @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social Nov victory. Key insight: "governing, unlike legislating, cannot simply default to activism." Mayors are closer to constituents than governors/presidents - more accountability, but also more opportunity. Let’s make a Zohran admin happen.
