I don't think they are pushovers, they get their get back privately. It happens often, but I understand the optics.
I also agree about no more taking the high road publicly. She had the whole room shook when she got loud.
I think the Dems have been trying to be the "sensible party," for a while, and it has hurt them in the long run. They weren't wrong, but constantly deflecting attacks with civility has hurt them in the long run,
I agree with everything else.
I agree.
Additionally, when you publicly you show some emotion and care, the
people voting appreciate it.
Democrats have been losing their hold lately because people think they're being sold out by them and letting Republicans get away with anything they want. Many people are starting to think the party doesn't care and are one in the same with the Republicans, so why bother voting.
This was the first time in a long time where they showed that dog in them and more voters will stand behind that. It may be optics here as the policy is the true get back, but those votes behind the optics are going to translate to something real. This is a good way to show, "Nah fukk them, we're not like them and they're not like us. We don't like them."
Given them the stern scoldings they need and everyone wants to give them.
Those were raw genuine emotions and that got the public's respect for dogging her back as people of all backgrounds understood her frustration. Exactly what we needed to see from them.
