Yet another part of the problem is that the Dem congressional leadership is overwhelmed: they don’t have a systematic plan for doing what you urge, in part because they can’t agree on what to fight and when to show their fight.
All problems exacerbated by being in run up to midterms. 2/2

@heidilifeldman@mastodon.social Thanks for the response! One of the problems the Dems don't seem to recognize is that their floor speeches & interviews do not reach the broader public. And with the oligarchical takeover of the media, the only way to reach the public is by doing something dramatic. The media would have a hard time ignoring a hundred Dem congresspeople camped out 24/7 on the Capitol steps--during recess! To rephrase the Sagan standard: Extraordinary crises require extraordinary responses. 1/2
