“Democrats need to stop turning to the people who got us into this mess and start making a sincere effort to elevate and listen to leaders who understand how to navigate us out of it. The party can’t sit back and hope that Republicans dig their own grave. Sure, that sounds nice, but that’s not how our reality works anymore …. As a minority in Congress, Democrats can’t do much legislatively at this time, and the base (mostly) gets that. But in lieu of action, what they do want is to see that their fury is valid; that they’re not crazy for being mad. We’re asking for Democrats who are willing to at least attempt to call it like it is — and yes, sometimes that means being a little rude. Democrats need to get caught trying.” (03/18/25)
