I cannot believe we're actually going to give him the time of day. There should be precisely zero Democrats at these hearings and zero Democratic votes in favor of him. Never thought I'd support the #WeWillReplaceYou movement, but it's time to start purging pro-Trump Democrats.
Yeah and guess what will happen if you successfully primary Manchin, Heitkamp, etc? You're giving those seats to the GOP.
Oh noes! Then the Dems won't be able to hinder the GOP's deplorable agenda!
Oh, wait. They can't or won't do that anyway.
If the choices are between a small eternity of GOP vs. GOP-slightly lighter (at best), or years in the wilderness before the Democrats can become a party worth supporting, I'll take the latter. Although to be honest, I don't think the US as it presently exists is going to last long enough for it to matter.
I used to think the US had a good two or three decades to make some badly needed structural and societal reforms. Now I think we'll be lucky to last past 2030.
The Dems have one good clean shot to pull together and convince independents and their own voters that they ought to be the opposition to the Trumpublicans. So far I've seen nearly nothing in terms of
actions to convince me. Primarying them at the national level while taking over at the state and local level seems to be a good compromise between holding their feet to the fire, fighting the enemy, and preparing for the worst.
