Van Hollen’s whole thing with Abrego Garcia was fucking awesome, courageous, and proactive, not reactive. But I do think that’s a different gig than being a majority leader / public opinion sin-eater
I think it’s a good bet that Dems get frustrated with the Dem Congress bc of Trump vetoes and I think the good vibes from a leadership change would be short lived and a waste with no tangible benefit. A new leader is going to be unpopular. Your job is literally “be the establishment.”
Here is a 2008 article about public opinion a year into the Dem Congress in the last two years of W. They passed a ton of agenda items that were vetoed.
Dem voters got frustrated with the Dem Congress because all their priorities were vetoed and that they couldn’t force W to end the war.

I am very much pro faster cycles of leader replacement. But I think right now is a waste. We just aren’t going to get a lot ton without a Dem president.
We can skip the AG-Gov plan and go with Jackson, I want to see either a Lake Norman or Myers Park Democrat. Try to get a representative NC senate delegation since Tillis is getting replaced by an Eastern NC Dem
we need a shorter lame duck for a few reasons
-it would be better for the public's understanding of when a president or congress has power
-almost 3 months of the current congress to shove hated shit down the country's throat
-winning discourse too catty and divisive
The funny thing about Alex Karp and Palantir and his “I’m a lifelong democrat” thing is that he actually is… he’s just also fucking insane

The good news: Democrats are now one presidential win from getting to govern.
The bad news: Their top 3 economic goals may be incompatible with each other.
To prepare a viable governing agenda, the party must grapple with the tensions between its aims

I love that Troy Jackson liking boba was considered too gay and not believable. First democratic victim of classism.
I still stand by tweets should sound like how the principal talks, so there should not be like “that’s tea 👀” tweets, but it’s always been believable someone likes boba… it’s delicious
Huge reason why dereg and AI actually need to be harnessed for our side. People want no tradeoffs and there really is only one potential path there.
Democrats won the midterms --- but so did the tax revolt
In myriad states, the most leftwing electorate in modern history rallied behind anti-tax referenda
Many Dems catered to this mood, running on tax cuts, "no tax on cops," and property tax abolition
