[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Jeff's title post today was spot on, as usual. He stated that Democrats are twiddling their thumbs as a four-alarm fire engulfs our democracy.  He pointed out a lot of what Democrats should not be doing, which is all correct.  He mentioned that Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez went and spoke and drew huge crowds.  Great.

What *should* other democrats be doing?  Can we get specific and then demand it?  I agree that vetoing the crypto bill is obvious. What else? Can they bring Congress to a standstill? BArnstorm the nation? Protest in the streets?  What next in the leadership of the moment?[/quote]

Perhaps we start by setting up a process so that the nominee competes against others who want the gig on a level playing field?  We wouldn't even need to invent a process, we would need only to stop subverting it.  Crazy talk, I guess...

Instead, let's keep giving it to whose "turn" it is, no matter what.

The party occupies a hellscape of its own design, and is in dire need of a chaperone for the most basic of tasks.  This is entirely self-inflicted.

Read this Atlantic article about the inability of the "comfort class" (that's us) to connect with the rest of America.  It is shockingly honest, and therefore is prone to being dismissed reflexively.  But please read it and at least discuss its flaws.
