    Ultimately there's a contradiction between the "democracy is under siege" message & the "ancien regime restora-tion" message. Biden won on a coalition that included both but the contradiction between the two is now causing troube.

        This is the frustration - the rhetoric Democrats used in order to take control of government doesn't match with how they're governing. I get shit for criticizing them, but they're the ones that set the bar, not me.

        Look no further than this story for why we should all be deeply cynical about the Democrats as a party.https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/bidens-usps-board-nominees-oust-embattled-postmaster-dejoy/story?id=77217311 …

        What on Earth makes you think “ancien regime restora-tion" was a concern for voters? The election was simply a referendum on Trump. Enough voters (just barely) believed that Trumpism is not the way forward.

        Let's ask @WhipClyburn if he regrets playing kingmaker for Biden, who can't get the caucus to pass voting rights. Great work.

        The Senate. Just like since 2011, bills get stuck in the Senate. While I would be glad and impressed if two ex-senators who are now President and Vice-President would change minds like LBJ, they don't seem to be LBJs like that. Instead, two current Senator ain't helping!pic.twitter.com/dlwz32zdxV

        I have noticed this also. Either we are about to have an infrastructure deal with the GOP, or we are in the midst of a rolling, slow motion coup attempt, but not both.

        The tension of the primary was on one hand the Democratic Party itself needed to be overcome in order to enact real reform versus the Democratic Party could be the vehicle of real reform. One of those can win an election. The other is the right assessment
