    the supreme court has also insulated trump from consequences when they gutted the voting rights act and the democrats have proved themselves to be as much a rubber stamp as the republicans since the last election; you seem to be pinning your hopes in the wrong place.

      “Wanting to define the terms of the conflict” is not the same thing as “pinning hopes.”

      I have no illusions that getting a Democratic majority in Congress will solve all of our problems. I know for a fact that a Republican majority will continue to make things worse at an ever-increasing pace until the situation becomes completely untenable. At least with Democrats, there’s a conversation to be had.

        is there?

        the democrats refused to talk about gaza during the election and their post-mortem study won’t even mention it; yet multiple polls confirm that that was the biggest reason why they lost the last election.
