Interesting comment by AOC this morning

She said this during an interview with Jake Tapper:

I think one of the things that is very important is that is to realize that very effective Republican attacks are going to happen every cycle, so the question is how do we defend ourselves against that? If you look at some of these arguments that are being advanced, that #DefundthePolice hurt or arguments about socialism hurts. Not a single member of congress that I’m aware of campaigned on socialism or defunding the police in this general election.

Great interview with Bernie Sanders this morning

with Ali Velshi on MSNBC. He was very reasonable and thoughtful.

Let remember that 'Never Trump' Republicans are still Republicans

which is why I believe that while Trump was defeated the Democratic Party didn't do better in down ballot races, losing seats in the House and not yet winning the Senate. Many of these Never Trump Republicans either voted for Biden or skipped voting for President then came home voting for Lindsey Graham or Susan Collins and all the GOP candidates for down ballot races.

Let's also not forget that the GOP did a great job on the ground, registering new voters and getting their voters out to the polls. It remains to be seen how many of these first time Republican voters were Trump cultists who will stay home in future now that he is no longer at the top of the ticket.

Now we have 2 run offs for control of the Senate in Georgia. We will need to focus on our ground game and get Democratic voters out in big numbers to win.

In the days before Nixon resigned

the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff instructed the military to not follow any orders of the President without his approval. Should the current Chairman do the same tomorrow?

Why do Democratic Presidents

always have to clean up the mess left by Republican Presidents?

One good thing about this victory

I can go back to hating Bill Kristol again.

Being on the same side just never felt right. Lol

People are dancing in the streets

I remember people dancing in the streets in 08.

I don’t remember people dancing in the streets in 16 or 2000.

Do Republicans all come from that town in Footloose?
