Talking of glibness, Phil, before the Republican Party was hijacked by intelligent conspirators who had understood that, in America, swastika armbands would get them nowhere... but the name of Grandma's Old Party was a guarantee of success for oligarchic tyranny, I used to see American politics as:

The Heartless Party vs. The Spineless Party...
I hope this insult is quite wrong, but there has long been such a culture of polite complacency, euphemism, hypocrisy, settled ignorance, turning a blind eye to uncomfortable realities, that the storm troopers and their dogs are once again standing by... impatiently... while the Teetotal Tamburlaine is working up their rage and lust for revenge against... their own country...
The danger is palpable. The enemy within already holds Congress hostage.
Readers of LFAA focus on voting in November. By which time, it may be too late. November's world may already be very different from the world today..
For as long as this man and his sidekicks walk free, our planet will be a very unsafe place, the survival of life forms under direct threat.
The truths you tell gall, hurt, and discomfort, Peter.
Do you think there's any way Dems can restore apt humanities to their language, and call for return of humanities in schools?
Or is it all just money? Money for phone banks. Money for door-knocking. Money for TV ads. Money for post card campaigns.
Can you cite any Dems who balk at the money status quo, and reach out by humanities for some things more?
Here's a list of my favorites. Any among them notable for you by their readiness for some things more? Or, more aptly, any likely to appear in public with any others on this list (or who should be on it) and together amplify humanities and so pointedly better call for the specific programs we need?
Jamie Raskin. Sheldon Whitehouse. Katie Porter. Dan Goldberg. Richard Blumenthal. Mallory McMorrow. Josh Shapiro. Madeleine Dean. Jared Moskowitz. Gretchen Whitmer. Ro Khanna. Abigail Spanberger. Robert Garcia. Jerry Nadler. Liz Warren. Pete Buttigieg. Shontel Brown. Ted Lieu. Amy Klobuchar. Gary Peters. Adam Schiff. Jasmine Crockett. Cory Booker. Hakeem Jeffries. Jena Griswold. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Maxine Waters. Raphael Warnock. Chris Murphy. Chris Coons. Mikie Sherrill. Pete Aguilar. Justin Jones. Maxwell Frost. Ilhan Omar. Wes Moore. Melanie Stansbury. Gavin Newsom. Summer Lee. Pramila Jayapal. Eric Swalwell. Zoe Lofgren. Bernie Sanders.
Phil you have amassed an enviable list of many of the heroes of our current congress, heroes who seem unsung in large part because they show common decency along with their intelligence, integrity and common sense, commodities which seem easy for the MSM to ignore in favor of ratings from the inflammatory rantings of the barbarians.
What do you think, Phil? Those truths gall me, they hurt and discomfort me.
Above all horrible facts like the powerlessness even of 9/11, even of DT with all his ravings and his permaputsch, to awaken Americans from their nightmare to the even more nightmarish reality we all face.
I keep thinking of Diogenes, carrying a lantern in brilliant Athenian daylight and, when asked what he thought he was doing, answering that he was "looking for a man".
Phil, since Katie Porter is not on the ballot this year, she will soon be off the list. I’d suggest a write-in campaign, but that might split the Democratic vote.

You've named a few.
