Rahm Emanuel has been making the rounds, trying to nudge his fellow Democrats in a more moderate direction. In the clip below, he says Democrats should listen to the American people and stop talking like adjunct professors at a small liberal arts college in the Midwest. I am not sure what the deal is with Yeti cups, which he he takes to be symbolic of something, but I understand the reference to NPR:
I don’t think Emanuel’s message is resonating with most Democrats. The energy is all on the other side, and most Democrat voters seem to want their party to fight harder against the Trump administration. So they are going to the mat for Central American gang member/human trafficking/wife beating illegal aliens. And for men competing in women’s sports. Yesterday, Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison announced that Minnesota is preemptively suing the Trump administration, asserting the right to continue admitting men into women’s sports competitions. Those are two issues where a hefty 20% of the American people are on the Democrats’ side, but apparently that minority includes a strong majority of Democratic Party activists.
