Pragmatic ... What else is there?
I'm not talking about doing nothing. But wasting time seeking a conviction is not productive.
Effort should be on Epstein, high costs & ACA being on the Agenda.
But Demcrats have to understand that America isn't ready to shift back radically. Pragmatism works.
Unless you want more of 2025.

Hopefully the Democrats will avoid another useless impeachment.
What is the point, other then wasting valuable time and money.
If Democrats want to embolden the Independents and RINOs, they need to stop wasting time like this.

MTG is that crack in a wall that only gets bigger. Tough to patch.
Dems should be relishing in this counter MAGA, whether you hate her or not.
Trashing her may be great for the soul, but the focus should be on why she has split (Epstein, Health, food costs), and how to use it pragmatically.

"Trump has really done it this time ..." yada yada yada Headlines.
You can't eat principles. The Base just does the monkey thing ... See no evil ... Hear no evil ...
However, when Sirloin hits double the price, then we have a problem Houston!
Then again, maybe Starving is a principle too.

Caved to what?
The problem in politics is the 3 Musketeers approach. No room for dissent.
This "righter" side disagrees. They see greater damage in continuing. Including to those workers who support a greater equity (via their taxes).
Majority rules - democratically. Or so I'm told.

One more stage in this chaos. Gonna take more of this to change the political landscape.
The upside is to guess how it turns out for Trump's entourage. Not now, but not that far. PeeWee Miller is only 40.
Lotta tape to watch. And given time, the core Reagan band will exorcise them as well.

Technically they did.
IMO, Dems shouldn't have participated in the shut down. Let the GOP hang themselves.
Cuts will kick in & only the pain will change the votes amongst the Centre Dems & Independents.
Dems need to re-establish the principles that matter to everyone, not just the far left.

Who are those "few"? And why can't you engage them. If they're d!ckheads, just ignore them. But be careful in dismissing counter opinions. Starting to sound like the current GOP mentality.

IMO, that's a false equivalence.
Ukraine was invaded for NO reason, other than the imperialistic desires of Russia.
Hamas is a brutal regime that has no humanity in it. And while Israel has gone well past a reasonable response, shooting people like Hamas did 2 years ago, is beyond barbaric.
