On our left hand we have a party who, while generally spineless in the face of opposition, at least understands the general principles of governance

Andrew Cuomo couldn't govern himself out of a paper bag and he ran one of the largest and richest states in the country for eight fucking years. So many of the Dem Senators that got kicked to the curb in '10 and '14 and '22 sucked ass. We're still stuck carrying around dead weight like Fetterman and Slotkin holding winnable seats, while the occasional "Trump Democrat" like Amy McGrath sucks up hundreds of millions of dollars to face-plant during a blue wave year.

Can we maybe put down the theory that these people know what they're doing? Dianne Feinstein could barely form coherent sentences by the time she was being wheeled into votes on life support. Chuck Schumer's got his own party base in full revolt. Newsom can't decide if he's running for President or running a podcast.

None of these people can govern.
