What's fascinating here is the use of the word "strong." I would say a party that has achieved an amazing constitutional revolution of overturning a 50 year old decision, an achievement that took a focused movement overturning norms over decades, is "strong."https://twitter.com/thehill/status/1523812812434329602 …

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 …

But why; WHY the hell are they so bad at this? They are on third base and running back towards second.

It’s the gerontocracy. Dem leadership is very old and very insulated, and won’t have to navigate the damage to come. They’re spending their twilight years pretending we’re back to normal, and everything will be fine, because for them it is.
