(14,502 posts)I fear the old guard who live in a Washington bubble, are either shell shocked, or just too stuck in their ways to even move. Or approve any out-of-the-box ideas. They are crouched down in a state of paralysis until the 2026 mid-terms where they think a blue wave will make them relevant again. And they can continue to pretend its all just simple politics. Schumer can get back to his bicycle gym routine next to his Republican buddies and work his magic.
There are even reports that that old guard wants Democrats to stop talking about Epstein. Focus on the issues. They just don't get it. In today's social media hyped world, that is the door you can open to destabilize the opposition so that THEN you open the window to enlighten folks about the issues that are important to everyone
Make a sensationalist production. What Newsom is doing is great. But why not even more Democrats mocking Trump like that? Trump makes a new headline every day. We should be as well. Cowering in the corner hoping that the election process even is running fairly in 2026 is a fools quest
