It was a panty raid type of event where the police let them into the building while the congresspeople went and hid like wimps than face the truth.

This is from the third day. It was apparent this was a dog and pony show before it ever started, it was leaked this was what Dems were pining their midterm election chances on. They wanted to remind the people how bad Trump was.

The fatal flaw in that plan, and Democrats have been doing these dumb things lately, is it doesn't change anyone's mind. That's what they need, to bring back the moderates they lost. And frankly it looks bad considering the economy, something the GOP wisely made a talking point immediately.

I wonder who the polisci goons are on either team. Whoever has been running the Democrat machine has been doing a total shit job.

Only from the point of reality, politically speaking the right is killing it. They got the dissatisfied dems without any effort, survived the Roe v. Wade leak ploy, and as long as they don't fuck anything up too badly, are on route to holding the majority again eventually. The Democrats know it. The Clintons just threw trannies under the bus, sounding the warning the progressives are making the party unelectable.

Scary times, but also really interesting times. I'd be looking to what the Democrats next ploy is. They're not going to give up without a fight, but everything they do seems to not be a solution so much as an unforced error. They did float marijuana legalization, again, but they've worn out their welcome on that one. Everyone knows it's an empty promise. The Republicans might seize that if they're desperate but right now they don't need it.
