Democrats' 'gerontocratic leadership' fails to grasp that 'our system is on the brink': NYT columnist https://t.co/8ZiAIQyHto

"Earlier this year at the National Prayer Breakfast, to give another example, President Biden praised Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell as a 'man of your word' and a 'man of honor,'" he writes. “'Thank you for being my friend,' said Biden to a man who is almost singularly responsible for the destruction of the Senate as a functional lawmaking body and whose chief accomplishment in public life is the creation of a far-right Supreme Court majority that is now poised to roll American jurisprudence back to the 19th century."
Bouie notes that many Democratic leaders came of age back when there was still relative political stability and bipartisan compromise in Washington D.C.
These leaders don't seem to recognize that those days are long gone, however, and they will not be coming back, Bouie says.
"Millions of Democratic voters can see and feel that American politics has changed in profound ways since at least the 1990s, and they want their leaders to act, and react, accordingly," he concludes. "Standing in the way of this demand, unfortunately, is the stubborn — and ultimately ruinous — optimism of some of the most powerful people in the Democratic Party."
Despair and scorched earth is the only true path forward! In order to defeat the enemy, we must become the enemy! No quarter! No prisoners! Those who are not with us, are against us! All who oppose shall perish!!!
I'm pretty sure this is where I came in....
