What a well-chosen photo at the top of this article. Two utterly uninspiring men with no ability or will to relate to ordinary people and their problems.
That's a more accurate metaphor than he intended. The fascist train will not even slow down as it runs over him.
Jon Stewart had an hour-long interview with Hakeem Jeffries the other day, and it's just painful to watch. Jeffries resolutely refuses to offer even a single hint of anything the Democrats intend to do beyond expressing vague sympathetic feelings towards unhappy voters. It becomes quite clear the Democratic leadership has no intention of even trying to take part in the resistance the USA needs, and would rather drain the energy of any such movement into their morass of vapid messaging, meandering non-promises and wearying inaction.
The senior Democrats have no intention of fighting for the people. Any effective resistance will have to come from elsewhere.
At this point you have to wonder if they're actively complicit.
Wittingly or not, it's quite clear they are.
They 100% are.
