They’re not perfect but I’m not ashamed of any of them either and these days that’s a big deal.

I think the problem is that a plurality of people who identify as democrats want to shift right, but the majority of Americans actually want significantly more progressive policy on many topics and have disengaged from a party system that isn’t delivering it.

Also moderates don’t deliver what people want so many people either don’t vote (most common) or they vote for whoever promises radical change even if that person is obviously a bad call to anyone paying attention (Trump).

The vast majority of Americans are independents, and what they want are jobs that will pay their bills and safe places to live and raise healthy families. Centrist dems don’t particularly deliver that.

My understanding is that it’s hard/unusual to force DOJ to continue if they don’t want to. This would mean Trump and Co don’t have leverage on Adams in the same way, which is an improvement from what they want, and NY can presumably still go after him.

Would have been nice to get a reason to force things to continue, because Adams is 100% guilty, but this would fuck over Trump while backing him into a corner so I’m here for it.
