The Unions across America will PROBABLY RISE UP AS A FORCE !!!!!!!!!.....with workers being pushed out/fired....personal data stolen, but most importantly ....if groups "displease " this administration....they may not get PAID. PERIOD...They now have the payment systems "purse strings" of CONTROL...and trust me...they will use every one of their powers to keep 3.5 million people suppressed and in FEAR...That is Autocracy 101..if not they can/will be over thrown . They will be overthrown eventually - it is only how much PAIN - months or years before that happens ????
I would prefer a more aggressive stance from AOC (and everyone else), but I can’t assume she is now as tough as she’d like to be. I’m not sure what limitations reality puts on her. She’s trying to move a party that I see as completely inert. She risks losing them if she gets too far out in front of them. If she wants them to follow her, she’s got to ask for baby steps. I still have hope for real aggression from AOC and J. Crockett, and the other (women) Democrats when they think the moment is right.
The only way for them to win is to move decisively to the LEFT! The more they have played to the center, and ever more to conservatism, the more they have LOST. Bernie Sanders remains incredibly popular for a reason. It is a tragedy the DNC leadership manipulated the 2016 nomination towards Hillary Clinton. That was the turning point. We could have had President Sanders instead of Trump.
Yet the Harris and Clinton campaigns ran the opposite of the strategy you say they did. I would be willing to consider the guidance that Dems should move further to the right, if that hasn't already been its failed strategy for the last ten years. Dems "count on phantom votes" only insofar as they campaign against what those voters want and inexplicably expect them to vote blue regardless.
You are describing the right's propaganda projection of the dems, not what the dems actually are and do. Wake up, get real, work in the realm of actual data and not the Bari Weiss fantasyland of the world
This is such nonsense. The Harris campaign did nothing but center-right "Republican light" appeals, and lost resoundingly. These sorts of James Carville, Clintonian, appeals may have been persuasive at a moment in time, but if you can't see that moment is long past, you're high on your own farts. Get a grip.
"common sense governance from the sensible center" - friend, you're speaking in such buzzwords, nobody can possibly take you seriously. Say what you mean. Stop cloaking your real thoughts with this vapid nonsense, please. Say something of substance, for once. What policies, exactly, are you proposing? Cut the bullshit.
Dems tacked to the center in 2024 and got crushed. It never ceases to amaze me how people argue the same absurd point in spite of all evidence to the contrary.
Plenty of people thought Donald Trump couldn’t win either
You’re only realising this now ?
What did you think of Scarlet’s essay?

I'm asking all members of Congress to fulfill their duties and uphold the Constitution. Nothing more.
