In reply to the discussion: Republicans will be more than happy to see Democrats fighting over their leadership, instead of unifying [View all]Sympthsical
(10,959 posts)Has worn thin. I just won't be lectured anymore from the "All the choices made leading into 2024 were magic!" brigade - which is where the bulk of this stuff comes from. Every decision is the most amazing decision any leadership made in the history of ever.
We are always in an election cycle with the way our politics and media work. So the "Now is not the time!" people feel like their argument is evergreen.
My argument is "Give people something to vote for."
New leadership, new direction could be that. If we choose to seize the opportunity instead of doing the same shit with the same gerontocracy that feels like it's been in place as long as I've been alive.
What does it say for the health of the party that our best electoral prospects in the past decade have been, "Wait for Trump to fuck up spectacularly - then we move in!"
2018. 2020 where Covid undid Trump. And then he's still. fucking. here. Republicans hold all the levers of power.
And somehow, "Tch, leadership is fine," is an actual argument people are making?
Is there a suicide pact no one told me about?
