I hope the left learns from this and stops kowtowing to the argument that they’ll get “blamed” for Democrats loss and therefore shouldn’t make any demands.

I’ve been making this argument for years. It shouldn’t have taken a genocide to get us here:

JOHN DICKERSON, CBS: “Uncommitted vote sent [Biden] a clear signal and they are responding, first rhetorically…this is the system working. A bunch of Democrats said we don’t like this policy and we are going to show you maybe by voting you out or making your life miserable, so you can change the policy…and that’s how it should work in a democracy.”

Direct link, should work for a bit:

    I’ve been saying this all along. Vote blue no matter who just guarantees your interests won’t be addressed. We owe our votes to no one, make them earn our votes with policy.
