I wish I still believed this, but the DNC's actions make me think they dont care to change.
CONSULT STIPULATIONS IN PREVIOUS POSTS BEFORE REPLYING I believe that the Democratic Party is likely to be transformed for the better by the 2024 loss, at horrific and avoidable cost. I believe it would likely have been transformed for the better by a 2020 loss, at less though still horrific cost.

Bending your institution to meet the prejudices of your dumbest, meanest students is a surefire way to destroy a university. Now any student can just scrawl “the Bible says this is wrong” on any test and skate to an A at the Oklahoma Football Outlet and Diploma Factory.
The University of Oklahoma has removed an instructor who was accused by a student of religious discrimination over a failing grade on a psychology paper in which she cited the Bible and argued that promoting a “belief in multiple genders” was “demonic.” https://cnn.it/4b6g3rd

If you want a functional, effective government you should vote for people that believe the government can be functional and effective.
7/ Second, I think Will is mistaken to describe this as a *Congress* problem rather than a *Republican* problem. The last time the Democrats had majorities (and therefore agenda-setting power) in both chambers was the 117th Congress. And that was a tremendously productive Congress!

If we're not at war, Pete Hegseth is a murderer. If we are at war, Pete Hegseth is still a murderer. He's a murderer. And you don't need to go to The Hague to hold him accountable because there are perfectly good, American laws AGAINST MURDER. My latest in @thenation.com

Take away the Voting Rights Act and Jim Crow comes roaring back. This has always been why Chief Justice John Roberts wants to take away the Voting Rights Act

This is the asymmetry in our politics and media. If this was the other way around, Biden had pardoned someone then charged with trying to kill Trump, it would be the biggest story in America and every Republican commentator, congressman, news outlet, would be screaming about it in unison.

Speaking of "hate America," this guy and his GOP colleagues are smirking about rejecting the will of the American people. The Americans of Arizona's 7th district chose to send Grijalva to Congress but the GOP hates the majority of Americans and refuse to let them have any say in government.
KARL: I mean, you could swear in Adelita Grijalva tomorrow, right? MIKE JOHNSON: No, not tomorrow. We couldn't. We wouldn't.

In an interview with the Prospect, the rising populist star Graham Platner spoke of a new Gilded Age and a need to take on billionaires and their control of our political system. Read the full profile from Austin Ahlman:
Just a poor hillbilly who worked hard, and now gets to spend more time with his family. Because of his hard work. For the oligarchs.
