Not my fucking guy. I don't care about the fucking plane.

I want the democrats to stop pretending this is an episode of West Wing and play hardball. I want them to act like any of this matters. Because it actually matters.

What doesn't do anything is finger wagging and gotya tweets. That kind of shit appeals to a insignificantly small demographic of Brunch Liberals and literally nobody else. They should be filibustering every single republican bill and denying every political appointment. Leadership should be stripping committee appointments and threatening primaries on turncoat dems. The entire party should as a singular unit be blocking everything they can. They should be aggressively promoting an alternative policy agenda with real tangible benefits for real people.

But they won't do any of that. They'll stand around cock-in-hand and wait for Schumer's strategy of "give them everything they want" to payoff somehow (think trickledown) because the DNC is a corporation. They really aren't bothered by all the disastrous shit Chump is doing because it benefits them too.

Dunno if you have watched it or not but I want them to start pretending it's an episode of West Wing because the Dems in that went hard. I'm tired of the milquetoast responses and typical DNC fair but they also are playing politics and trying what they think will work.

I just hope Boeing puts as much time and love and care into the custom 747 as they have done with the 737 Max and 777-X
