General Discussion

There is absolutely a distinction between being bad at politics and being a bad person, and I certainly do not believe Schumer nor Jeffries are bad people.

I think that people that hold Democratic party policies tend to be good people because we believe in equality, justice, and truth.

My vehement criticism of my leadership in Congress is that they are fighting either the last battle, telling us what are distractions, or failing to identify issues that are morally clear.

Is it helpful? For me it is. It allows me to think more clearly about an issue that breaks my heart. For the larger mission of our party? I suspect that, as I've said elsewhere, people are looking for righteous anger and that might expand the electorate.

It isn't easy being in the minority.


PS - Thank you for the thoughtful question in re: masks and viruses. Again, my issue is with political leadership, I am cognizant that practical exceptions will always apply, but that isn't our argument to make.
