Nov 5, 2026, 2:26 PM@CynthesisToday @JDGeoShack Worth remembering that one of Donald Trump's winning messages in 2016 was his promise to "drain the swamp". Turned out a lot of disengaged right-wing folks didn't like swamps.
The Dems just got handed a huge opportunity to co-opt that language: drain the swamp, put people over out-of-touch elitists, focus on common-sense fixes to serious problems.
I *really* hope they take full advantage of that, and don't devolve into wonks-vs.-Molotov-cocktail-throwers infighting.
