1/2 🧵Insisting that Democratic leadership is fighting hard for us is ridiculous, and not the “Pro-Democracy!” posture that it might feel like. It’s completely unaligned with the facts…and the truth, and…

I know the Democrats aren't serious yet because they are still trying to apply yesterday's solutions to today's problems. Until they start treating their colleagues across the aisle like the enemies of the country that they are, nothing will change.

And instead they were going into lurid detail about the Diddy trial. Which is newsworthy, but a 15 second announcement of the verdict would suffice. TMZ can cover the rest.

2/2 I’m stunned with the number of people out there still choosing to live in their own self-constructed fantasy. It’s impossible to address the facts if you refuse to to acknowledge them. They’re damn sure not going to start fighting as long as we’re telling them they already are.

Agreed Jack, many of the Dems are just as compromised as GOP! It’s big money that owns them! Citizens United ruined govt of the people by the people. These Dems benefit from big donors & backroom deals too. We need to call them out & remind them who they really work for! And terms limits too!

"Holding power to account...is one of the clearest expressions of patriotism." I couldn't agree more. When I hear dems defending representatives it's always the same ones. I truly wonder if they know that there are more than the dozen they talk about. There are HUNDREDS we never hear from. HUNDREDS.

Fear does strange things to the brain. I’m a psychologist and just a human being here witnessing the disintegration of norms right before my eyes on the daily. Never underestimate how abstracted people can become from whom they think they are in service to assuaging their fear. Eh?

1/2 🧵I couldn't agree more: When fear kicks in...people might think they're acting in service to a group...a mission...or a principle...but really, they're just doing whatever makes them feel safer or less anxious in the moment.

It's same cowardice Dems have shown re: special interest $ influence in politics. Outside of purely performative acts, it's always about working within flawed system to serve greater good, ignoring how this compromise undermines any good done. And now we've reached natural outcome of such a system.

The biggest threat to democracy presently is not the Republicans outwardly attacking our institutions, but the Democrats refusing to put up a solid fight in defense of our values. This is the reason why the Democrats are polling so negatively. 2026 primaries will be a bloodbath.
