Given the outsize influence Charlie has wielded over WI politics I think we need more from him now than articles and comments (however right on) in The Bulwark. What is he doing, now, in WI? Is he publicly rebuking his old friends like Vos, Walker and Ryan? Is he telling everyone who will listen that this is fascism, plain and simple? I’m certainly not getting that impression from the WI commenters here. So yes, well done Charlie for coming to your senses, but there’s a whole bunch left to repair before the cake gets cut.

Wisconsin commenter here. Charlie has made it pretty clear where he stands. And yes he has rebuked Vos, Walker, Ryan, Gabelman, RonJon and others. I'm not sure what else one could expect from him.

Right now democracy needs all the help it can get. All that matters is which side are you on - democracy or the fascist crazies? When democracy is once again secured in America we can go back to nuance. Right now and for the next 14 months, it’s will

You vote D or will you vote R? That’s it.

Well, he seems to be on permanent panel rotation on MSNBC whacking Republicans over the head as anti-democratic every chance he gets. Plus the Bulwark, plus essays elsewhere. He grilled Paul Ryan in Milwaukee a few months ago in a public forum. I’m not sure what more he’s supposed to do.

Grilled? Are you sure? Gently questioned would be more like it. And MSNBC is not a big draw for R’s that I’m aware of. I would like him to be using whatever influence he has left in WI to stop his friends from descending into full blown fascism (although I think that ship may have already sailed).

How do you know he’s not?
