You're as optimistic as Simon Rosenberg, and your arguments make as much sense. All we need to do is keep the energy going and we can make it happen. Best wishes for a very happy New Year Jerry.
Why did Mike allow Congress adjourn until January 9 given all the urgent unresolved issues? Border security, debt ceiling (again), budget and Ukraine/Israel wars to name a few.
Jerry, Based on the House GOP caucus’s recent voting record (unanimous support for 1/6 co-conspirator Mike Johnson for Speaker, plus an impeachment inquiry into Biden, despite Rep Ken Buck affirming the lack of any predicating evidence), I don’t understand your belief that the GOP caucus continues to include traditional Republicans, who, in 2024, conceivably could join with Democrats to achieve bipartisan objectives.
Frankly, I would argue the opposite and advise we buckle up for a pre-planned unhinged 24 intended to foment so much chaos that a plurality would be willing to accept any authoritarian option in order to provide some sense of normalcy and security in their lives. Whether I’m right or wrong, my greatest concern is that we’re unprepared to level a monstrous blow, if warranted.

As usual, a cogent observation on our sorry state of affairs. I dare to hope for a better 2024.
