Nancy is the embodiment of grace, wisdom and grit. What attitude should we take now?

I respect and admire Hakeem Jeffries tremendously. I do not believe that a bellicose or bombastic approach is the best way through.

We have to save a space for recovery, for redemption. We need a good chunk of Republicans to throw aside their party label and join us. I really don’t think that happens without making space for it in our own minds and our own communication. I am not talking about accepting hatred or hiding from conflict. There’s a reason that Martin Luther King advocated for nonviolent resistance and that was because it works. Only love can conquer hate. We need to hold fast and stand firm against these miserable hateful wrong thinking people and hope for redemption, for them and for us.

1. Civility is gone. Facts don't matter. It's war now. We must fight back.

2. Yes it is time to understand the GOP is at war with the US.

And our party.

3. This

Trump and the Republicans killed. Don't overthink it. Adapt and change. "Weekend at Bernie's" phase we can skip.

Power is the law.

4. We must maintain the values of our party, ones that Speaker Pelosi has embodied perfectly,

and eskew the toxic populist extremism that threatens liberal democracy around the globe.

We are better than that. We are Democrats.

5. You can't rationally argue with irrational, corrupt, evil people.

6. Then don't.

Irrationally arguing with them certainly isn't the solution.

We have a duty to the American people to be the sane political party.

Pelosi and Biden and Obama has steered us in the right course, and I have zero doubt that Hakeem Jeffries, Katherine Clark, and Pete Aguilar will maintain the high principles of our party.
