The language gives it away too:
"Overplaying our hand" = surrender
"Waiting won't help" = accept defeat
"Pragmatic" = whatever donors want
"Not perfect but..." = voting against you
It's not individual weakness. It's institutional training.

No Labels' actual track record:
- Killed Build Back Better
- Blocked filibuster reform
- Gutted progressive priorities
- Then call it "reasonable compromise"
Sound familiar? That's what happened yesterday.

In a world where lying (but skillful) propagandists like Nick Shirley or Jack Posobiec or Andy Ngo or Laura Loomer are driving the actions of the federal government and Republican politicians are entirely fine with it, there are few political guardrails left. www.newyorker.com/news/fault-l...
What a Viral YouTube Video Says About the Future of Journalism
A streamer’s investigation of fraud in Minnesota garnered millions of views. His content was questionable, but his methods will likely inspire scores of imitators.

Oh that will definitely require at least a full five minutes as we both simultaneously edge forward and then brake over and over. All true Seattleites know there is no greater moral virtue than to yield to someone else when you have the right of way.

Seattle strategy for passive aggressive resistance.
If an ICE vehicle is behind you then you gotta yield twice to everyone else. Or put on the left blinker, wait till the light’s about to turn red, then turn it off and go straight. Things of this nature.

All this big tent, open arms, forgiving attitude from the Democrats makes me gag.
Reaching across the aisle just gives your colleagues (opponents) a chance to knock you down.
Republicans do politics more successfully than Democrats.
