Axios tried to bust James Talarico for following adult content creators on Instagram and I'm genuinely impressed by his campaign's response

I will not support the Republican bill that’s on the Senate floor because it fails to do anything of substance to fix America’s healthcare crisis.

To repeat: I have studied a lot of cases of autocratization over the past 15 years. Wrote about them, taught about them, consulting about them.
I do not recall an opposition so apathetic, ignorant, and inept as the @democrats.org. They cling to their power, rather than fight for democracy. Shame.

That’s how bad their decision to cave is.

Disgusted, demoralized and despondent. Democrats held the biggest protest marches in history, swept nearly every toss-up election from coast to coast *this week* and saw the same polling: voters blamed the GOP for the shutdown. They didn't *get* rolled -- they rolled themselves.
