The Bandwagon's Started Rolling

Welcome Matt Stoller to the group of top-tier bloggers who have realized that, with the Senate Dems' rollover on the Kavanaugh nomination, there is absolutely no hope for the party or the nation from the Dems' current leadership:

Power comes from action, from conflict, from strength. It accretes, so one victory leads to another. When Senators allow Bush to reestablish a win streak for no reason, they are losing power. It's just like Harry Reid or Chuck Schumer letting Lieberman lie to them about staying Democrat in return for their support. It's a sign of weakness.

There's no excuse for this. Don't bother looking for leadership in the halls of the Senate or at any of the issue groups. It's not there.
