5. Spot on from the CBC!!! Unforced public drama is the absolute last thing we need right now.

If you want to fine-tune the party's leadership, you wait until you actually hold the gavels and have the majority locked down. Airing these grievances on a national podcast right before an election just makes Democrats look like the Keystone Cops and drains momentum.

The CBC is entirely right to call this what it is: a completely unnecessary distraction. We win by projecting unity and keeping the focus entirely on lowering costs and protecting democracy, not by giving the media a factional food fight to exploit. Secure the power first, then worry about remodeling the house.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.
