I think that the outcome in the NY Mayoral race and the Wisconsin Supreme Court race both show that people power CAN beat the political money machine. That should give us all hope, and the motivation to work for the government we want.

Yeah, it wasn't going to pass anyway but they don't even show they want to fight.
Millions marched in the streets and this is how they respond?

We will not win the battle for democracy if those in the pro-democracy movement prize caution over taking risks. We cannot permit ourselves to be deterred by the defeats and public criticism that are inevitable along the long path of restoring democracy. Now is the time for fearless leadership.
The Survival of Democracy Depends on Our Willingness to Fight
Justice Riggs is right. We should not have to fight for democracy. But the reality is that we must.

I'm sure the millions of Americans who are going to lose access to healthcare can rest easy at night knowing Connelly got a chance to die in office with good health care.
Fecke speaks from a position of privilege. I doubt he relies on Medicaid, so fuck everyone else.

I'm glad the left has settled on immortality as a non-negotiable requirement for seeking public office. Makes it very clear that they are always going to find reasons to hate.

The selfishness of those who insist on serving while ill or elderly is breathtaking and personally rather devastating for those of us who do not have congressionally supplied healthcare. ZERO faith in Democratic party to do the right thing with their power.
The House just passed Trump’s budget.
The vote was 215-214
It would have failed with 215-215 if a House Dem didn’t die in office yesterday.

Trump's bad polls tell us less about Trump than about the catastrophic failure of not just Dems, but also civil society and the media, to effectively inform voters of the consequences of their choice.

At some point soon all Democratic Senators need to learn that “nuanced” decisions are not going to work anymore. They are destroying the government and your “compromise” is just a surrender. Some seem to get it but too many are clinging to a fantasy.
