2/ Cornell West was right when he said the system has proven “incapable of reforming itself.” We know at this point what to expect from Trump, but Congressional leaders should be listening up and taking heed.

3/ It’s reasonable to expect nothing but a crackdown law-and-order mentality from McConnell, but @SpeakerPelosi and @JoeBiden could at this moment break free of their neo-liberal container, reclaim the soul of the Democratic Party, and actually make a difference. I hope they do.

4/ Trump is already having military units prepared to deploy to Minneapolis. If democratic party leadership doesn’t come up with a plan for bold fundamental changes it will be a huge strategic mistake. The era of politics as usual is over; need for enlightened leadership now here

They need to do more than just say words. They need to take action.
The 'democratic' party is a bad joke.
I do not see that in them, but you know them better than me. I hope they have the courage. Spell out all the corruption and point to the real rulers and voice the leverage they are under.
lol they absolutely won’t

They won’t. They’re inextricably part of the system that’s incapable of reforming itself.

Lmao neither Biden nor Pelosi will do shit. Biden already gave us endless platitudes in his “speech” yesterday. He’s not serious about changing anything.
