7. This has been the problem with opposition to Trump going back to 2016 when he was first elected.

They want our vote, based on Trump being the greatest threat to American democracy in history, then, they won't do anything to stand up to him, cower off in the corner, whine about it and justify their lack of decisive, bold action by saying, "well we just can't do anything." Then, when they are in power, they take the Merrick Garland approach, dawdle, drag your feed, whine about how poltical the opposition looks and do absolutely nothing so that he gets right back in power. Did you hear Jack Smith's testimony? It was criminal for Garland to foot drag, obfuscate and incompetently fail to use the power he had to make that happen.

It's OK to recognize that Maduro was bad, and at the same time, point out that two wrongs do not make a right.

I'm becoming increasingly convinced that we have too many Democrats still playing politics and not taking the threat of Trump seriously. That's why I support those looking for bolder, new leadership.
