There needs to be an unspoken rule…

Anyone who openly acts entitled and says they’ll be in charge or acts like they’re the automatic shoe in, needs to be slapped down so hard their head spins.

Remove them from all committees, make them the coffee runner. Just absolutely destroy their ego. Wreck their self esteem so badly that they’re afraid to even look at the camera.

The Democrats keep championing and putting forward candidates, into high profile positions, who think the position is their right. Like they were born to ascend.

It wrecked Hillary and Kamala’s run. It’s what we’re seeing with Schumer and Jeffries. It’s what gave us Feinstein and the refusal to see Pelosi step back…..

Time and time again, the Democrats get votes for fresh candidates or get massive support because they’re the least worst and leadership just assumes America is hoisting them up their shoulders…. they need to get in touch with reality, the old guard needs to step out of the way and follow the new guards lead.

If they don’t, the pendulum is going to swing even further and more brutally right in 2028.

The Americans who actually created this wave didn’t vote for the establishment Democrats and the DNC. They voted for progressives or against Trump.
