    Jeet Heer Retweeted Brian Beutler

    This and the follow-up tweet strike me as largely right: the background for the current internecine fighting among Dems is that Nancy Pelosi has decided to follow a strategy of minimal opposition to and oversight of Trump.https://twitter.com/brianbeutler/status/1150074308527607809 …

    Seriously, though, the squabbling within the Democratic caucus right now is referred pain from the fact that Trump is president and the party is responding with message bills.

        A strategy of minimal doing of anything, which is nothing new.

        I’ve been saying it for a long time. If pelosi is doing this as some sort election strategy, then she’s being idiotic. The polling numbers for dems are high, but without any action on impeachment you’ll see the numbers drop off dramatically. She’s losing the dem base

        "Nancy Pelosi has decided to follow a strategy of minimal opposition to and oversight of Trump" aka appeasement I'm being nice, I'm not saying collaboration. Yet.

        This will push progressives and activists, who play a large part in the current majority, away from the party, toward more insurgent further left primary challengers.

        The big lesson trump learned is that he can cheat and get away with it. Following that, what makes her think it won’t be far more egregious in 2020? The consequences of him losing are dire. Expect complete lawlessness.

        Background is: Pelosi is following a strategy to give Dems the best chance of beating Trump.

        She’s helping him. She just funded his concentration camps with minimal restrictions on how the money can be spent.
