"Everyone I know is complaining about Democrats… In this case, “everyone” is right…

…Democrats don’t want to think of themselves as fighters. This is a self-conception… more importantly, it’s a potentially self-fulfilling prophecy of passivity that will have grave consequences for tens of millions of Americans… if they don’t get over this fast and come to terms with the reality they are in."

No, no, no! Some say #Democrats are just preserving GD #politicalCapital 🙄

>> #AOC is done with spineless Democrats enabling convicted felon Donald #Trump’s coup. While #Musk hijacks federal agencies and torches social programs, some Dems are still playing by the old rules. She’s demanding full obstruction—no votes, no cooperation, nothing. The GOP is dismantling democracy, and Democrats refusing to fight are complicit in its collapse.

Oh, I also heard some wise #Democrats are preserving (rather hoarding) #politicalCapital until a more opportune time 🙄

That the German SPD and FDP position themselves against green policies might actually be quite smart. This way, they force the greens for (fiscal) concessions for those areas where all parties differ while still getting green policies “for free.”

So even when we assume green policies objectively serve the greater good, it makes still sense to be against them as center-party to gain political capital.

Also, green voters lose politically on other fronts.
