Yes! Please keep talking about this. Our dear Gov Newsom has also been weakening California’s important environmental protections, dissing trans rights, and playing Trump’s game of fools trolling as if that is leadership. Where is the vocal, public outrage over the foul mouthed hatred being spewed against their own constituents? And the foolish giveaways to the coal industrialist? Oh my, the people must rise if they care about their children.
Everything Trump does is predicated on the assumption that Schumer and Jeffries cannot or will not fight him. And so far he has always been right.
The most charitable interpretation I can give for Schumer and Jeffries is incompetence. They were brought up to play nice and exercise power and now they just don't know how to fight. I think the more likely explanation though is delusion. In their minds this *is* fighting because they, and in the case of Schumer the voices in his head, tell them they are winning.
On the subject of voices that is not snark. Chuck Schumer himself said he runs all decisions by fake people who live in his head. See here:
I don't have the data to back it up, but I'm convinced the dissonance between the 2024 Biden/Harris/Dems messaging about the danger to democracy that was a then potential 2nd Trump presidency, and how they went about actually running their campaigns, is a major factor in their loss.
How can you convince people that you're serious about saving democracy while running a senile old man, and then bypassing the primaries to nominate his Vp?
