The AMA document is just mind boggling. It's really about a bunch of white administrators wanting to be saviors of people they deem beneath them by doing things those people never asked them to do nor hoped they would do. The only thing at this point keeping me a registered Democrat is the unmitigated horror that is the other choice in our two-party system.

And those poll numbers are brutal. People don't even know what's in the bills, and they still say they won't help the economy. Or, it's the few people who do think they know what's in the bills who think they won't help the economy. Either one is a big problem.

And, if number 45 is going to become number 47, maybe now would be a good time to start using legislation to box in the powers of the Executive and enhance powers of oversight, and abrogate the filibuster to do so.

Your last would require the Dems to be strategic, which as Tim M pointed out, is not happening so far ("The Democrats might want to focus more on competency and broadening their appeal, rather than participating in an internecine murder-suicide over how many trillions of dollars they spend.")
