Dem leadership plan was to wait until 2026 until voters cried ......

18. Thank you, thank you, thank you for saying it, too.

I can't get my head around it either and it is one of my biggest disappointments in our party and elected leaders. Did they not believe their own hype throughout the election?

What? No worst case scenario exercises? I live in a college town where there have been some events that have gotten out of control. Ever since, there's been a bunch of local government types and "stakeholders" on a committee that seem to get off on doing annual tabletop exercises to prep for the possibility partiers might spill into the streets and couches set ablaze. They've been annually disappointed in recent years but, boy, do they look forward to the planning and press conferences talking about how prepared they are.

If we get out of this pickle, I want to know the next generation of leaders is prepared to not just represent us, but look out for, protect us, too! Competently.

The other side does it for their people.
