No one actually cares about this stuff! You will not be rewarded for following DOJ protocol. You will be rewarded if you use as much power as you can get away with to make life better for your constituents, the same way Republicans use as much power as they can get away with to fuck us!

Perhaps it would confuse the rabbit if we were to run away *more*

Anti-Bernie Dems in 2016 and 2020 would always go like "oh exactly HOW will you do all this stuff" and to me that was never the point - I believed Bernie would keep pushing on every lever he could reach trying to get us to those goals and I didn't believe Clinton or Biden would.

I’m a Warren voter lefty and I think he should step down. I wonder if the true divide is between people who have been caregivers for elders with mild to moderate cognitive decline and those who haven’t.

The issue as is often the case is Democratic policy requires affirmative support of the law whereas Republicans can just wreck shit to win. For instance, if somebody gets illegally deported that's a fait accompli, if someone has student loans improperly waived those can reappear.

They called FDR a dictator and he had the exactly correct response when he said "I welcome their hatred!"

The antithesis of Biden governing, the reason we are in the mess we are in now. After the Senate silence, Obama should have invoked the "silence gives consent" legal maxim and sent Marshals to accompany Garland to take his seat on SCOTUS. So he's part of this too. Always a knife to a gunfight.
