      Schiff's closing argument in the Trump impeachment trial was one for the ages. Would not surprise me if it's taught someday as the seminal opposition speech from this era in presidential (and Republican party) history.

      Honestly, if Bernie pulls this off, it'll be because he & his people spent four years doing the hard, patient work of organizing while the Resistance Liberals were caught up in one anti-political bauble after another (electoral college, 25th amendment, impeachment, Russia).

      ...and also won 40 House seats with what the left called a fatally flawed strategy.

      I'm pretty sure I wrote at the time (in 2018) that the House Dems were being smart in focusing on health care & not Russia stuff. In other words, I thought their strategy was pretty good.

          Leftists were pretty clear that focusing on Russiagate was going to lead to a midterm defeat Guess what? Many candidates didn't focus on Russiagate

          The moderates tried to take all the goddamn credit for 2018 house gains while Bernie’s movement laid the *real groundwork. I went from not politically engaged to canvassing for Mikie Sherrill in NJ, a centrist who I don’t particularly like much. Shit might run against her in 2022

          So, except for winning the House by a 40-seat majority on a "pretty good" strategy, they were "caught up in one anti-political bauble after another?" Why don't you delete these tweets, give it a good think, and then try again?
