Your equivocating is absurdly ridiculous. You’re holding one incident of Gavin Newsom‘s that happened five years ago up against a tidal wave of continuous abuse and corruption on the right.

How many presidential campaigns have been ended by something that happened years in the past? A lot.

As a frustrated, left wing Democrat I greatly appreciate your critique of the Dems. Jeffries must go. How that happens with a CBC in a semi-permanent defensive crouch remains to be seen.

My fear is that the “Carville Doctrine” had already taken hold before he suggested the Democrats play dead. (How could you tell the difference?) there isn’t anyone out there explaining what they’d do or why they’re better. The arguments at the state and local levels - normalcy and competence are a perfectly good start. But the initial piece is a mindset: I want to win and I’ll do what it takes to make it happen.
