#acknowledgetheproblem

Sen. #CoryBooker says the biggest mistake #Democratic Party has made is ‘not centering people enough’.

Ironically, some who themselves try to divide #Democrats into "us" vs "them" will accuse him of taking money from #Russia to divide Democrats. For them, the #DoNothing senators are knowledgeable and experienced — They believe #SchumerCanDoNoWrong, and everybody else questioning him is a #Kremlin agent 🙄

You can't solve a problem unless you first #acknowledgeTheProblem

Yes, and I agree with you but only up to a point.

I am saying that sometimes #Democrats are their #ownWorstEnemy.

In the real world, it is #survivalOfTheFittest, not the crudest, meanest, or most virtuous.

Democrats seem unable to #AcknowledgeTheProblem that our survival is at stake. Moral absolutism is not going to help us survive.

Instead of #virtueSignaling, censuring and forcing party members to resign, we need to #GoBallistic and fight like out survival depends on that.

No, I am definitely not a fan of #Boebert and #Greene, and you certainly chose to misinterpret the message despite its obviousness.

I pointed out the difference between how #Republicans treat their own vs how #Demnocrats do.

Was there sufficient reason for #AlFranken to lose his senate seat, or for #AlGreen to be ejected and censured?

Democrats are playijng by "rules" that have ceased to apply for more than a decade, and that's why they keep losing.

>> I happen to think that it wasn't Joe who failed but the American legacy mainstream media and our electorate.

This is why I keep emphasizing #acknowledgeTheProblem 🙂

Media and electorate had their role in re-electing #Trump, but those are different problems that don't preclude the problem with not bringing a criminal to justice.

We refused to acknowledge the problem with #Nixon.

5 decades later, we have #Trump again.

It was #Biden's #DOJ.

Neutering it was a political move

I'm not conflating anything. I acknowledge #Biden did a lot.

I voted for him, but I also #acknowledgeTheProblem with not making national and #worldSecurity the focus of his presidency.

Not just NOT making it the focus but actually undermining it.

Here's a #counterfactual: I don't know if the following are facts, but if they are, they're damning, and the outcome could've been different

"Biden hopes to avoid divisive #Trump investigations, preferring unity"

Not news but analysis.

It's well-balanced, giving #Biden credit where it's due (#coronavirus, #climate, #economy, #infrastructure, #gunControl, #racialJustice) and calling out his failure where it mattered.

#acknowledgeTheProblem

"…ultimately he failed to meet the political moment or the ESSENTIAL mission of his presidency. The prime directive of Joe Biden’s presidency was to prevent Donald Trump’s return to power and his failure to do that is likely to be his lasting legacy”
