      Democrats are never as good at predicting things as when they predict they can’t get something done. The point is to try, to raise the issue, to force your opponent to defend the issue, to raise awareness and money and volunteers to beat back the waves of evil that would destroy us all.

      My entire life, Democrats have been shrugging and rolling their eyes while Conservatives rub their genitals all over the furniture.

      Did Donald Trump need 60% to get what he wanted? Did Dick Cheney? Did Reagan or Nixon need a supermajority to funnel money into their pockets while destroying lives? No, they got what they wanted while Democrats in charge lined their own pockets while destroying lives.

      Don’t come at me about Biden. He’s a shitbag, but I’m voting for him anyway because we literally cannot have another Trump term. But I’m really fucking tired of hearing about things we’re not trying to do because we’ll probably fail. There’s value in the failure, in the attempt.
