It’s time to remember Benjamin Franklin’s admonition for political success. The Professional Pearl Clutchers of the Vichy Democrat Caucus in Congress is at it again. Sunday, Axios’ “Sneak Peak” newsletter blared: “1 big thing: Biden faces Dem defections”. The story regards Democratic representatives and Senators in marginal seats trying to distance themselves from the situation in Afghanistan and President Biden. “Many moderate Democrats and their aides are huddling with campaign consultants over how to handle the setback in Afghanistan,” as Axios put it.
Franklin's admonition is so relevant to today's issues. Faced with a likely Republican turnover in 2022, it makes perfect sense for Democrats to do nothing less than to throw caution to the wind and go all in with infrastructure, voting rights, et cetera, et cetera.
Is there a reason why you have left out mentioning Manchin on today's post?
Sinema is far more likely to vote against her fellow Democrats for the hell of proving her "independence" than Manchin. Unlike Manchin, who understands politics, she's an under-informed "showboat."
Given Texass, head in sand SCOTUS, gerrymandering, lying liars, it would seem congress would be impelled to act. Expeditiously. Without caution. Get the business done. Stop talking and wheelin' and dealin' already.
I still think each of the congresscritters should have to wear the patches of their purchasers. Then we could know for whom they were playing.
I love how you say what I can't.
