2026.11.12 Abdul El-Sayed TAPPED IN

There's lots of discussion and commentary about what the newly-elected Democratic control of Congress and the Senate could or should be about. Especially with respect to the sort of leadership it deserves, or requires.

While contemplating this, I saw a clip where Abdul El-Sayed was asked about this. And, to paraphrase, he said that this wasn't a time to be making schemes or plotting for future power situations. He said that the American public is sick of this bullshit, and that they clearly want representation that Does Something. And he described it as "being tapped-in to help", to make things better.

And to that vision of participatory progressive purpose, I say "fuck yes".
