Probably afraid that government contracts will be lost and how he could mobilize his supporters to stop using their products and services. What they don’t want to admit to themselves is he may do that on a whim anyway. Democrats have economic power that they aren’t using. That needs to change.

I view infrastructure as illustrative of my point. Despite its broad popularity, Repugs opposed it in Trump’s first term even though he supported it. And partially because of their ambivalence, the Biden bill, although valuable, was too small given the country’s glaring needs.

The ACA is an anomaly. 2 factors affected public opinion. 1) For budgetary reasons it didn’t take effect for 4 years. 2) Lieberman’s duplicity prevented the inclusion of a public option which would have broadly lowered costs. Overall, I still think Dems are hurt by consultant-driven politics.
Rich_in_NJ (@richinnj.bsky.social) reply parent
This points to an important difference between the parties. Republicans lead opinions of their base, while Democrats respond to it. In the abstract, that may be more democratic, but politically it’s a problem because Democrats don’t seem to stand for anything.

Yet Republicans have killed efforts to have mental health background checks be included in order to purchase guns. What a lying pos.

I’m sure she’s a fine person, but I think her announcing was poor. That said, there are plenty of women who could have replaced her, like Monica McNutt. Speaking of people that should be demoted, how about Stephen A Smith?

If they had evidence to support their allegations, they would want Gov. Cook to receive due process before her firing. Apparently, they don’t. It’s merely an attempt to railroad her.

It’s unconstitutional. constitutioncenter.org/amp/blog/jus... Back in 1989, Scalia was the fifth and deciding vote in the Texas v. Johnson decision that upheld flag burning in Texas, and a year later, he voted against a federal law that banned flag burning in United States v. Eichman.

Cashman is so insecure that he can’t admit mistakes. In this instance, it’s a refusal to admit how inept they are at developing position players.
