Contrary to the news media, Democrats are clearly not "in disarray"
https://signalpress.blogspot.com/2021/11/democrats-are-on-roll-control-narrative.htmlI don't think I've enjoyed seeing anything as much as the Democratic congressional majority breaking out into cheers, jumping and screaming like they were at a football game, when the Speaker announced that Build Back Better had passed the house. I'll be able to watch that footage for a long time. It was inspiring.
In the football analogy, that was the go-ahead touchdown. Now it's time to put together the strategy and plan for winning the game in November of 2022. I continue to be optimistic about the party's chances. Will it be a blue wave like 20I8? I think so.
They're not asking me how to do it, and that's OK. I think going after January 6th hard and fast, using the courts as much as possible, since getting a 2/3 vote won't do it, bringing criminal charges and putting the likes of Taylor-Green, Boebert, Gosar and anyone else who was directly involved in jail. You can't vote from there. Go after Trump. Even the surface stuff that's appeared in the media makes it clear he planned and incited this with the intention of stopping the vote count. That's going to keep voters away from the GOP.
But win the minds of independents and motivate Democratic turnout. This first year of the Biden administration has been a "Wow moment." Massive, rapid distribution of a vaccine for a deadly virus, getting us out of the worst diplomatic and military mess we've ever been in, made worse by the failed previous president's "deal making" with the Taliban, passing one major piece of signature legislation and on the verge of another, in the middle of a fast moving, forward moving economy. Inflation and high gas prices are symptoms of a growing economy. It's healthy, people are working, wages are up and we're about to renovate infrastructure and make this country better.
It's time to celebrate. And it is time to start the steamroller, ending all this silly and phony conversation about Democrats in disarray.

At MSNBC mostly Mitchell and Todd. There are others too there. CBS has Norah.
Something to consider with Rachel, Lawrence, and possibly Nicole they haven't had Manchin or Sinema as guests. They have primarily Democrats that support their agenda and the Biden's as guests.
