As I said in my last diary, my favorite Star Trek is Star Trek: Lower Decks. I would add to that, here, that one of my favorite episodes of Lower Decks is "wej Duj," episode 9 of season 2.

The Inside-Outside Strategy

One of the persistent failings of what passes for "Left" organization in this country is that it has no inside-outside strategy. When the Democrats finally tell the "Left" that it has nowhere else to go, and asks said "Left" the magic question: what are you going to do about it, vote for Republicans? -- that is where said "Left" will appear not to have prepped any answer at all, and quite on purpose.
