Anyone else feel this way? [View all]

I can see pros and cons in both the "Where are the Dems" rant by Ali Velshi and the counterpoint by Ariella Elm.

I admit to feeling uncomfortable during Velshi's opening, and did notice that it was heavy on criticism and light on specifics for improvement. As he went on , I noticed that he was far more emotional than usual, and it was obvious that he was speaking from his heart and as a journalist. I did appreciate that he called out some Dems for praise. All in all, I felt it was a good introduction to the discussion that followed. I don't know how many saw that, but it was by far the most important part of the segment in my opinion. Norm Ornstein had some good ideas for strong, unified action--namely, impeaching RFK, Jr. It's easy to say that that won't work, but Norm said Dems should be guided by "What would Mich (McConnell) do?" Stop worrying about the rules, and
following protocol. Start breaking some china and getting attention.

As far as Ms. Elm's criticism goes, it doesn't bother me either. She made some really good points about what Dems are doing. She is right about that. The problem is that those actions don't always get the attention they deserve. That's why more "out of bounds" actions, such as those suggested by Ornstein on Velshi's show are necessary. They break through the noise and the narrative the media and Rs work overtime to spread. It's not that Dems are doing nothing. But they need to start thinking outside the box.

At least that's the way I see it.
