10. Respectfully, Dems should focus on his lack of qualifications.

Unfortunately, the strategy of focusing on misogyny and sexual assault did nothing to prevent Kavanaugh's rise (and ruined a woman's life.) We know Pete's disgusting and violent, but the Republican party elected a rapist and they simply do not care one bit about his character. (I imagine they think he's great and a real tough guy. )

You're not going to get 4 R votes by pointing out Hegseth hates women because they hate women, too. Sad, but true. For that reason, Dems should be hammering home that Pete is completely unqualified for this position and that he will cause harm to our military personnel, as well as our military's reputation. If Dems make his military incompetence their main focus, Rs may think twice about aligning with that potential shitshow.
