I agree. The so called Democratic leadership is a very large part of the problem. They are screaming for money 20 to 40 times a day.!

brilliant analysis ... if i may add a few thoughts of my own :

firstly, i think chris murphy deserves name recognition in the category of democrats who are ACTUALLY DOING SOMETHING to stop this fascistic takeover ... and yes, there are others, only there are NOT ENOUGH other elected democrats who deserve this recognition ...

secondly, i want aoc to be president ... i also wanted her to be the chair of the oversight committee ... however, when gerry connolly was elected to the position of ranking chair member, i could not be mad ... he was a great representative and a good man and i just want to state that for the record ...

perhaps lastly, while i am in agreement with you that the democratic party desperately needs a major overhaul, i think the reason we lost the 2024 election has to do with something that not enough of us are addressing our taking seriously enough : there is a large enough swath of the american people who actually want and are drawn towards fascism ... until we really examine this deeply and have this reckoning about WHO WE ACTUALLY ARE, we are really doomed ...

of course, anything and indeed everything can change ... my most pressing concern is that there is not going to be a free and fair election cycle in 2026 ...

anyway, as always, i highly appreciate and respect your writing and your perspective ... thank you ...
