of course in this case they're not just suggesting the backup QB but also the tight end, the special teams coach, the hot dog guy, and for some reason, Jamie Dimon

It's literally sports coverage. "Well the Packers' QB looked really shaky out there in round one of the playoffs, should they go to the backup QB?"

can't wait for this to get to SCOTUS so they can rule that the court's decision holds unless the candidate's name rhymes with Ronald Slump

These aren't all MAGA cultists. And even low-information voters know who Trump is, what he's done, what he's been accused of. They just don't care.

There's no more information you can give people to convince them. Everything Donald Trump does is out in the open. There are no more scandals, and if they come, they'll just be tossed onto the pile and ignored with the rest.

Half of Americans ok with putting a rapist, racist, fraudster, liar, egomaniacal, sociopath back into the same office where he embarrassed himself and our country every day for four years. It's hard not to give up sometimes.

I think we agree. It's that when MO said "we go high," she meant we don't really do anything. We can do stuff without being immoral. Boldness, not immorality, is what makes a difference.

And here's the thing: we don't have to be as ruthless as they are. We just have to be aggressive and principled and work to do good things and hold bad people accountable.

Thinking long-term. In 2026, we have to start pushing more strident, aggressive Democrats in primaries at all levels of government. We need to elect fighters, people who will push the Overton window of what is possible to the left. Fighters, fighters, fighters. But...

Democrats should have done it when the news of their corruption first broke. We do it now, and it looks like a sore-loser response to decisions we didn't like. To be clear, we should still do it! But this is why we should act fast, aggressively, and with principles.

You know, Trump was president when he falsified those business documents to pay Michael Cohen back for the Stormy Daniels payoff. Maybe that was an official act, too.

Those fighting Democrats can do a hell of a lot more in a majority than they can do in a minority. And we need to think of this as a long-term project. It's about transforming the party over decades, not just a couple years.

In the cases when those candidates lose their primaries, we have to hold our noses and vote for the worse, weaker Democrats. We *have* to. Because while bad Democrats are bad, we can't cede ANY power to Republicans. They're straight-up evil, and we have to hold ground.
