Ramesh #NotGoingBack⬆️ <a href="https://mstdn.social/@GreenFire" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@GreenFire</a> Yes, and I agree with you but only up to a point.I am saying that sometimes <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Democrats" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Democrats</a> are their <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ownWorstEnemy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ownWorstEnemy</a>.In the real world, it is <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/survivalOfTheFittest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#survivalOfTheFittest</a>, not the crudest, meanest, or most virtuous.Democrats seem unable to <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/AcknowledgeTheProblem" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AcknowledgeTheProblem</a> that our survival is at stake. Moral absolutism is not going to help us survive.Instead of <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/virtueSignaling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#virtueSignaling</a>, censuring and forcing party members to resign, we need to <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/GoBallistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GoBallistic</a> and fight like out survival depends on that.

Ramesh #NotGoingBack⬆️ <a href="https://mstdn.social/@GreenFire" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@GreenFire</a> No, I am definitely not a fan of <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Boebert" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Boebert</a> and <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Greene" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Greene</a>, and you certainly chose to misinterpret the message despite its obviousness. I pointed out the difference between how <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Republicans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Republicans</a> treat their own vs how <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Demnocrats" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Demnocrats</a> do. Was there sufficient reason for <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/AlFranken" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AlFranken</a> to lose his senate seat, or for <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/AlGreen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AlGreen</a> to be ejected and censured? Democrats are playijng by "rules" that have ceased to apply for more than a decade, and that's why they keep losing.<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/AcknowledgeTheProblem" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AcknowledgeTheProblem</a>

Ramesh #NotGoingBackSeriously, don't trust the opinion of anyone who refuses to <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/acknowledgeTheProblem" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#acknowledgeTheProblem</a> and believes that a Deus ex machina solution will suddenly rain from heavens, out of thin air, without any critical evaluation or self-reflection, and only through sheer dint of accumulated political capital 🙄

Ramesh #NotGoingBack⬆️ <a href="https://mstdn.social/@GreenFire" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@GreenFire</a> >> I happen to think that it wasn't Joe who failed but the American legacy mainstream media and our electorate.This is why I keep emphasizing <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/acknowledgeTheProblem" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#acknowledgeTheProblem</a> 🙂 Media and electorate had their role in re-electing <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Trump</a>, but those are different problems that don't preclude the problem with not bringing a criminal to justice.We refused to acknowledge the problem with <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Nixon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Nixon</a>.5 decades later, we have <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Trump</a> again.It was <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Biden" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Biden</a>'s <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/DOJ" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DOJ</a>.Neutering it was a political move

Ramesh #NotGoingBack<a href="https://mstdn.social/@GreenFire" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@GreenFire</a>I'm not conflating anything. I acknowledge <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Biden" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Biden</a> did a lot.I voted for him, but I also <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/acknowledgeTheProblem" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#acknowledgeTheProblem</a> with not making national and <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/worldSecurity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#worldSecurity</a> the focus of his presidency.Not just NOT making it the focus but actually undermining it.Here's a <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/counterfactual" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#counterfactual</a>: I don't know if the following are facts, but if they are, they're damning, and the outcome could've been different"Biden hopes to avoid divisive <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Trump</a> investigations, preferring unity"<a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/justice-department/president-elect-biden-wary-trump-focused-investigations-sources-say-n1247959" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/justice-department/president-elect-biden-wary-trump-focused-investigations-sources-say-n1247959</a>

Ramesh #NotGoingBack⬆️ <a href="https://mstdn.social/@GreenFire" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@GreenFire</a>Not news but analysis.It's well-balanced, giving <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Biden" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Biden</a> credit where it's due (<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/coronavirus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#coronavirus</a>, <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/climate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#climate</a>, <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/economy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#economy</a>, <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/infrastructure" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#infrastructure</a>, <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/gunControl" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gunControl</a>, <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/racialJustice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#racialJustice</a>) and calling out his failure where it mattered.<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/acknowledgeTheProblem" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#acknowledgeTheProblem</a>"…ultimately he failed to meet the political moment or the ESSENTIAL mission of his presidency. The prime directive of Joe Biden’s presidency was to prevent Donald Trump’s return to power and his failure to do that is likely to be his lasting legacy”

And that's why they win over the "centre" (UK) and "liberals" (US) who won't even acknowledge the problems.✅ The first step in solving a problem is to <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/acknowledgeTheProblem" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#acknowledgeTheProblem</a>.<a href="https://zirk.us/@ChrisMayLA6" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@ChrisMayLA6</a>
