Why are they called leaders, when they won't do anything to lead on crucial issues, but instead continue to double down on policies that are now inappropriate, while the non-leaders drive for necessary changes? Managers? Maybe. Bosses? Maybe. Leaders? Nah

Senator John Fetterman said last week he would formally switch his affiliation if Democrats make opposition to Israel part of their official platform.
It’s the first time the Pennsylvania senator has laid out a scenario in which he would jump ship.

we speak with Democratic Congressmember Al Green,
who represents Texas’s 9th Congressional District.
He demands an independent investigation into the shooting to stop
“an attempt to cover up” the killing by the Trump administration.

The people have moved on.
Americans are not just fed up with pandering to Israel by politicians beholden to funding from the American Israel Public Affairs Committee.
The people have moved on from this notion that things need to move slowly or worse yet, nothing can be done at all.
