Dump Term 2, 1.01: Sleep Now in the Fire

The Bernie camp sent me an email this morning, "So...where do we go from here?"

He and AOC can go on their adorable, little rah-rah-rah speaking tour (which really needs your grassroots donations, BTW :LOL:). They don't have a real plan either, other than trying to get more progressives elected. Good luck with that in this country.

I disagree. AOC has been quite vocal about the options we have and lobbying their use. She has never said we're going to win. There are no wins to be had. Stopping the CR was a way to try and negotiate a better loss. Which is still better than what we have.

It's certainly a better plan than chuck schumer's impression of chamberlain.

You night want to actually read her emails...

Come on, he had to be ready for his book tour this week

I actually think he’ll still do it

Honestly, it's what I want to see. I want to see more Dems in the crowds making an effort to put exclamation points on what's going on and show that there are people who will fight for them, if they'd just stop blindly voting for the red hats.

We keep hearing how "Dems can't message," "Dems are too elite;" Meanwhile you got Walz and Sanders meeting face to face with these people to give them someone who will listen.

Its why Bart Stupak was a great Dem politician for the Upper Peninsula despite it being a Republican stronghold for years. When Stupack did not seek reelection, it seemed to be the end of an era which lead to more Tea Party / MAGA mentality from the rural regions. More reactionary, less listening.

As seen from the success MAGA has had, "Trickledown" doesn't even work in politics, we need to build from the ground up like they've done. School board, township, village, all are building blocks.

Somewhere, we need to motivate people from these town halls to run for office. I liked the ground game Harris out together for that final month, but logistically, they couldn't get to where they needed to. Sure sending Walz's wife to Escanaba and Marquette a week before the election, or hot dropping into Traverse City and Grand Rapids was good, but that doesn't reach the people who need to hear the message in Ironwood, Mohawk, L'Anse, Stephenson, Naubinway, Indian River, West Branch, Alpena.

My God, there was even a town halls organized for a UP rep that he didn't even show up for. And he'll still likely
didn't even show up for, called it a stunt, and he'll still likely win re-election because there isn't anyone who will run against him.

Maybe there's something with the elder Millenial / Millenial / Gen-Z attitude where those that have empathy don't feel like they're good enough to run for these offices. It sure seems like the empathy-less MAGA youths have a devil-may-care attitude and don't have the same self doubt.

I know I've had those thoughts myself seeing some of the elected officials from back home. "If they're this big a fuck up, even I could be better than that! But would I be good at it / good for the people?"
 
So now ice is detaining German green card holders. White guy named Fabian who literally looks like a Bayern meme

By detained I mean sent to RI, stripped naked and forced into a cold shower

But hey hovey, I’m just being a hysterical female
 
Statement from Dick Durbin. God, the pussy is strong in this one. " The Republicans wouldn't join us, so we gave them everything they wanted anyway" Boy, you really showed them. Drive a hard bargain, you do.

There is very little about this Continuing Resolution that I like—but there is even less I like about shutting down the government. With Donald Trump and Elon Musk taking a chainsaw to the federal government’s workforce and illegally freezing federal funding, the last thing we need to do is plunge our country into further chaos and turmoil by shutting down the government.

The Senate Democratic Caucus was unified on a "clean" one-month CR that would have kept the government open and given Congress time to negotiate bipartisan legislation. I’m disappointed that our Republican colleagues wouldn’t join us in that effort.

I will continue to fight against Donald Trump’s reckless, and in many instances, illegal attempts to gut the federal government. He is testing our system of checks and balances like they haven’t been tested in my lifetime. The fight continues.
