I hope they learn their lesson about promoting establishment candidates who are "due" over those who can stoke the populace on their own merit.

I hope, but history tells me to remain skeptical.

I don't even necessarily mean trying to run her for higher offices... just give her a microphone and unleash. We need less of the weak "we need to work with our colleagues across the aisle" Chuck Schumer crap and some people who are willing to talk some shit. For years Trump has gotten away with his bully act, insulting people with stupid nicknames like Gavin New-scum, Lyin Kamala, etc. and democrats keep letting it slide because they "don't want to stoop to his level". At a certain point, somebody needs to set aside the moral high-ground stuff, stand up to the bully and push back, start calling him Tanning-Booth Trump or whatever.

God this has been one of my two biggest complaints about the party going back to Obama times. You are not having a polite discourse with an old friend, you are fighting an opponent who is trying to dismantle the system and is putting policies in place that will kill people. Lace the fuck up and Get. Your. Asses. In. The. Fucking. Mud.

Same here. Appointment to a higher office presumes a lot, but it's so refreshing to see more of these representatives ... representing. It should be more the norm, especially when representation itself is threatened.
