These ancient Dems (coming from an old lady) have got to step down and let a new generation come in. They need to always remember three words which if done differently might have changed absolutely everything we have to endure right now. Ready? Ruth. Bader. Ginsburg.
Mary- I loved your paragraphs on the Democratic Party. I too left it after 40 years because I saw the light through Hillary Clinton lying to all of us regarding the basement server issue and thinking that we wouldn't see it, or we would forgive her because it was her turn to be President. Then I read Thomas Frank's Listen Liberal, and that was it. My criticism of the party during 2016 led to Democratic friends getting real nasty with me and turning their backs. I ended up voting for Jill Stein. Another recent Dem I admire is Melanie Stansbury of NM.
Heather Cox reported that Trump got fired up about Portland when he watched a Fox News report on it that showed violent scenes from Portland from 2020 which he thought were happening now. He apparently not only doesn't get daily security briefings, he gets nothing from any staff on anything, which makes him even more dangerous.
Thank you for an excellent summary of just how far the US of bygone days has fallen. I don't know what disturbs me most, the spinelessness of Congressional Democrats, Kegbreath's Quantico loyalty test, or the deployment of the US military against our own citizens.
Have you listened to James Talrico lately? His is a voice that has been missing as well.
I’ll check him out

I've never been a "single issue" voter, but Medicare for All could change my mind on that.
