Just listened to him lecturing here in Charlottesville today. I'm still wondering at what point we see nation-states as disappearing at the hands of global corporations. Appreciated his insights.

He is a nice guy and I do think he's one of the good guys, but we're in different situation as you see clearly. He should be primaried to see if he has the spirit for the fight (though I hope this nightmare is over by then).

Every Dem senator up for election in 2026 should be primaried, even the good ones. If they want to fight for us, let them fight for the job. Kaine, especially, should have a challenger in '30.

I think I'd start by primary challenges to every Senator coming up for election in 2026, even the good ones. If they want to fight for the people, they can start there. Maybe they need a little tough love to build some political muscle.

Exactly so. Beginning to think collapse is the only way to rebuild the political order. Dems don't have the nerve, even if they did have the power.
