Stop the Blame Game, It Just Splits Us Further

We need to start one to one, and watch and wait

The former Democratic Speaker of the House, one of DC’s savviest politicians, did something Friday that is emblematic of something Democrats need to shut down. She speculated that if Joe Biden had got out earlier and we had time to have a primary, things might have been different.

This blame game is not only useless, it makes things worse.

The pundits will dissect everything, because that’s their job. But people like Nancy need to chill out with the blame game. We’re going to need a different approach.

We are not dealing with Donald Trump in 2016. He had no plan and obviously did not expect to win. So his total lack of policy stalled a lot of his actions. And his need to control everything was unwieldy. But we are not in 2016.

We face an organized campaign to consolidate all power and shift it to a new ruling class of the ultra wealthy. And they have a lot of lawyers and cash. And the first step is likely to be to build a surveillance state based on lists of opponents they have been compiling for years.

Extreme? Yes. That’s the reality and it’s time we faced it. And my advice is to lay low and start making connections one on one. This is no joke and I’m not being dramatic. Well, a little maybe but we underestimated these people hugely and we are going to be paying for it for years.
