NEW: "Forget The Budget Battle – The Debt Ceiling Is the One to Watch" Democrats face a significant hurdle with the upcoming debt ceiling standoff, coming as soon as May. And they have an important opportunity to shape the outcome. My latest.

@davetroy Dave’s thoughts on the CR pretty much aligns with what Brian Schatz replied when I questioned him about his yes vote. I’ve seen Dave be right too many times to not consider his view on the Debt Ceiling.
@davetroy "Democrats must assess their true priorities... and convey them clearly to the public."
This won't happen. The #Democrats have been awful at proactively articulating anything for at least 25 years. It's like they're so afraid to make the wrong decision they don't make any decision until the Republicans force them to react to something.
@davetroy I have to admit that I find myself thinking that maybe a devastating economic catastrophe is the only way to stop the fascist authoritarian takeover of our government. Because there sure doesn’t seem to be any other plan to stop it. And if so, why should Democrats bend over backwards trying to prevent us from default?
@saren because we will all be eating cat food.
