Really what it reveals is that Will (and people rushing to say yes exactly) want is what De Gaulle mostly represented — a figure head giving Right Rock Speeches.
I get that, but it ignores the entire historical context of how De Gaulle got that gig and what the practical implications were.

Will’s version is basically the pop history version that is more or less a De Gaulle fairy tail. That all of French leaders cowered in fear while he alone had the fighting spirit.

Lotta people are unable to parse the distinction between “he’s doing this to distract you,” “this is a distraction from what they should be focusing on,” and “you’re being distracted from what is important”

I can’t think of a more toxic and self defeating tactic than demanding people do something they can’t do , then when they tell you that they can’t do it and why, to get really self righteous they can’t do something they can’t do.

Anyway, I look forward to getting a lot of notifications about people retracting their claims Trump was going to use the invasion of Greenland as his pretext for Enabling Act #687 of this regime.

Once again, if you remotely care about things, there is one party that is remotely interested in dealing with them. You can either 1) participate in making that party better and stronger 2) select the other party, which is full of insane, child rapist Nazis 3) be a giant baby, which selects (2)
there's increasingly two relevant political cleavages, and they're 'having literally any principles at all' and 'not being totally insane'

Reading this thread also shows how few posters understand the actual job of the Minority Leader lol
Okay, question:
Assuming that you have to pick a new leader from an existing Senate Dem (so you've got 44 non-Chuck options)
Who would you vote for as the new Senate Minority Leader, if it was up to you? Genuinely curious

Probably Murray or Klobs. Neither has particularly good politics (Murray is better); but I think both have a good handle on the caucus dynamics and Klobs in particular would be more likely to bury a fucker for defying her.

This is, to me, where Dem FP thinkers need to be focused on. What does a New Altantacism look like? What are the benefits to Americans? Etc
Sucks shit to watch Atlanticism get shot on sixth avenue, but perhaps we will be fortunate enough to build a better New Atlanticism in the near(ish) future
It is even worse than it looks

The GOP literally does not have a single idea what to do with anything any more. Their biggest legislative accomplishment in two separate trifectas is? Debt financed tax cuts for the wealthy?
One of the big reasons why the GOP can't win on affordability is that they, as a party, have been so captured by special interests that they're unable to deploy their ideological solutions to the problems. They're fully tied up, and we can eat their lunches if we're nimble enough.
