This is really good and the right way to approach the problem.
That being said, i don’t have faith that (1) elected Dems are willing to roll that dice and (2) I’m not sure that even if they did they wouldn’t be blamed.

Look at all the media right now. So you got the rightwing ecosystem that’s 50% plus of the media banging the drum that this is the greatest shit ever. Then you got the msm asking why aren’t Dems doing x, y, and z. Shit that’s what Sam is doing here. It’s a comparison between Trump and dems. It’s a fucking horse race discussion…again
It is a horse race because the demands of editors to get online with click bait headlines makes it an easy sort of reportorial approach. There are no financial incentives to slowing down and researching the context in which these things operate.
BTW I'm a person who has been saying Democrats should do what they can to salvage something out of what Republicans are trying to do because they have an obligation to their constituents. The debt ceiling limit thing that Marshall talks about strikes me as perfectly ok because 1) it is now clear that these royal proclamations are intended to destroy the status quo and 2) the debt ceiling is the only tool they have against that. The government is already somewhat paralyzed (or will be) by these proclamations so the strategy will not make things worse. I suspect the foreign markets and financial industry which is international in character are not going to hold a government shutdown over this against the US too much...unless they decide they'd just rather do all their business with China. In which case we are screwed. But we are anyway.
Oh I like the idea and I’m down for it. I’m for dems maximizing their power, what little they have, constantly. I wasn’t always here but it’s clear to me”win” you need to dominate: your opponents and the media. This is an awful position to be in but the public, not republicans, have forced this on us. They only respond to power politics and that’s going to be bad.
That being said, my point was: I don’t think elected dems will do it (I want them too) and (2) somehow “we” will find a way to blame the governing grownups.
