"Should we vote to give more money to the people shooting my constituents in the face?" is not a complicated political question. And yet, Democrats don't seem able to answer it.

We’ve seen this act before.
The Democratic Party needs new leadership. Jeffries and Schumer are not up to the challenge.
They’re too afraid, bought, weak, whatever. It doesn’t matter why at this point.
It just matters that they aren’t the people for this moment and need to get out of the way.

NEWS: While Hakeem Jeffries has announced he's opposing the DHS/ICE funding bill tomorrow, his team is not whipping the vote. Several frontliners are expected to vote yes. There's a difference in leadership between personal vote decisions & unifying the caucus.

Basically, I argued that Gamergate and the rise of Trump were part of a larger realization on the right that they would never win a rational argument again.
So they embraced a view that politics is a revenge project on the left for besting them in the realm of rationality and ideas.
