...that these so called political scholars/experts are JUST NOW GETTING THIS? I've seen this disaster coming for at least 2 decades!

I was at a political event tonight talking with other Dems and I said that I think Joe Biden went into his term as an "innocent." The eyes rolled. I said there are too many others in the Democratic establishment that are still too innocent and lack the understanding that what has been going on for the last 10+ years has NOTHING to do with politics as usual. There is NO desire in the Republican Party to work for policies that benefit the people. ALL the focus has been and is on the consolidation of power and MANY Dems, including Biden, did not/have not awakened to this fact. (Biden finally awakened toward the end of his term--not exactly "Sleepy Joe&quot And David Brooks? What took him so f*ing long? He's steeped in politics. Why couldn't he see this LOOOONG ago?

The gloves MUST come off if we are to save Democracy! We MUST wake up! We MUST tell our candidates we expect them to WAKE THE F*CK UP and to campaign like they see the light, like they are fully awake to the political reality Americans face!!

The candidates that spoke at our event tonight have definitely awakened. Nothing like this fiasco of government corruption has ever been seen before, both at the federal and state (Texas) level. Our Democratic candidates in Texas see it. If other candidates cannot see it yet, they will NEVER see it (MAGA)

I am so tired of screaming this message. Will they PLEASE wake up! Please scream with me this election season, DUers!
