@drvolts Yes. The problem is that the ideal time for Dems to learn this lesson was not 2020, but 2008, when we had a mandate now almost imaginable to reshape society in fundamental ways and yet failed to do so.

@karlbykarlsmith @JackMastrangelo @mattyglesias It can't be that Art. II, Sec. 3 of the Constitution was written to make a mockery of judicial review & of the separation of powers & of the idea that a legislature's authority to make law might be limited by its state's constitution, the very source of the legislature's power.

We are now nearly 2 yrs into a pandemic. Over 800K Americans have died from COVID already. The omicron variant is racing across the globe. We all know, or should know, how the virus spreads by now. And yet 65% of Americans feel comfortable dining indoors. ♂️

@OmariJHardy
@joshtpm And the pundits warning Dems to hold or soften their public criticism of Manchin are wrong now for the same reason that they were wrong all along to think that strategically coddling him would yield different results than pressuring him in public, and in private, to get to 'yes'.

Cable news networks chased ratings in the run up to the 2016 election and earned huge profits by over-covering Trump and amplifying his hate, his vitriol, his conspiracy theories & outright lies. These networks mainstreamed Trump and are as culpable as FB for where we are today.

It's beyond rich to see corporate media, especially cable news hosts, attack Facebook for putting profits over the well-being of the country by designing its algorithms to circulate more widely whatever excites or angers us most, even if its misinformation or disinformation.

"For four years, nothing rallied Democrats like the push to get Donald Trump out of office. Now, they’re not sure what to do without him." If eDems are looking for something to do now that Trump is out, may I refer them to their own campaign promises? https://t.co/PrJ8oTTwu8
