Counterpoint: GOP = relentlessly pursuing overturning of Roe for decades, doing whatever it takes, winning = strong Dems = unable to defend basic rights = not strong.https://twitter.com/thehill/status/1523812812434329602 …

Imagine if there were a Democratic leadership class that was intent on fighting the GOP as it exists without fantasizing about a GOP that hasn't existed for many decades (since, maybe, Eisenhower).

This is, I think, the interpretation of what Pelosi means by "strong." But it does her little credit. In truth, a party that delivers for its voters is strong. A party that exists to quell its voters is not strong but a comprador organizationhttps://twitter.com/ryanlcooper/status/1523843074379726850 …

This is an interesting point, a corollary of nostalgia for a "strong Republican party."https://twitter.com/constans/status/1523848670323564547 …

Also an interesting point. I agree that it's important to have conservative buy-in to liberal democracy. But I just don't think that's going to happen anytime soon.https://twitter.com/TylerDinucci/status/1523848362448936965 …

One last point. In this talk, Pelosi also says: "Rather than say, 'We have to defeat them,' no, let's just try to persuade them." I find that baffling. Best way to persuade is to first defeat.https://twitter.com/thehill/status/1523812812434329602 …
