    It is time we start demanding the resignations of current Democrats serving in Congress. We don’t need to wait til the midterm. If there is a Democratic lawmaker, from a state with a Democratic governor, that isn’t using all their power to resist? We need to start protesting these people, demanding their immediate resignation from office. Hell, if we wait til the midterm, then we’ll be right back at the place of “well, they’re better than the Republican…” And primaries are difficult due to the immense costs and incumbent advantage.

    Democrats are completely in the minority right now. What better time than now to purge the feckless do-nothing corporate Democrats from the party? Forget primarying Pelosi, we should be hounding her to immediately resign. She should have no peace. Force her to resign in disgrace, and Governor Newsome can then replace her with someone who is actually willing to fight.

      Newsom will appoint someone to her right.
