I've long said: elect imperfect democrats and get a seat at the table to push them toward your preferred policy. Otherwise you get republicans, and not only will you lose your seat at the table - you'll lose the whole damn table.
Shocked at how many Dems on here think they shouldn't have to make any concessions, on any issue, ever, no matter where the voters stand.
If you truly believe the Dem platform should have zero flexibility and that any concession is a betrayal then you can't really complain when you lose.

With all the talk of product shortages , I think it should be said that products will first find their way to densely populated areas first and everywhere else, last
This certainly will hurt all those red counties. How they react to their shelves being everything will define the midterms

Exactly. They simply cannot cover all the bases. It is simple geometry, really. If everyone keeps pushing back on everything…..
Fear is contagious. Courage is contagious. The more courage we see, the more crises this administration will have to deal with—and they won't be able to take on everyone at once.

Here in Illinois, ten years ago we saw the consequences of a rampant ideological gutting of government.
It genuinely harmed people. Our citizens hated it.
Trust me – I was elected based in part on just how much they hated it.
