This is like saying, "hey, guys, we really need to talk about taking steps to prevent a fire," as the house is burning down.
I also wonder what their definition of "decisive action" is. I get the impression that it involves a lot of talking, and not much else.

It has already begun with Pelosi leading the charge by keeping AOC out of a key House position where she could have offered a fresh perspective for the left.
