Hug someone you care about...
I don’t think the crackpots will vote MTG out, whether she’s stripped of her committee assignments or not. Clearly, none of them really care about good governance in the first place if MTG is who they chose as their representative. I don’t care what the Nazis think, or their Nazi voters. That said, it’s their right to vote for such a nutjob, and it’s best left to the GOP/QOP/Nazi Party to choose to rein in said nutjob, or not.
All I care about is winning so we can keep passing legislation into the future beyond* 2022 if possible. How does this situation help us win in 2022, or 2024?
I dunno...the problem is I don't think doing the opposite helps us there either. I don't think the Dems can do anything about it at this point it is up to whether the non crackpots vote R or not. If they do the country is in trouble...if they fight then we have a chance.
You think this is just about passing legislation, to me this is a bigger problem. I have a different perspective though since Jews are raised to keep an eye out for when things shift this way. I mean the other day my father, the man who said "nothing will stop Democracy from winning" just 2 weeks ago is now afraid of totalitarianism creeping in. (for different reasons than me) Every Jew I know is freaking out...
Yes I know that is gonna get me labelled as crazy and I hopefully am but this isn't just about making sure the Progressive Agenda goes through (those arguments are much more fun cause then the villain is Joe Manchin ;^) ) this is about watching as everything my great grandparents, grandparents and so on dealt with other places is starting to happen in real time here. Seeing someone espouse the crap she does, much of which was used to force my family out of Russia in the 19th Century (or other parts out of Poland before the War) is not good. That a political party is either tacitly or openly backing her and that such backing might actually give them more power in 2 years is overriding my logical brain. I just have a perspective that is not taking to all of this well.
