This is insane. The country is facing the fall of democracy - why won’t these people fucking fight?

"why won’t these people fucking fight?" Something I've been wondering about since Bush v. Gore (2000). I think a lot involves timid, risk-averse complacency tied to gerontocratic leaders who haven't updated their tactics and views in decades.

It's exhausting that I'm still going to vote Dems up and down the ballot when so many are such chickens. Biden should be telling everyone that Trump is a convicted felon and rapist. And yet.. we go high!

Utter madness. This is not the time to "take the high road". This is the time to roll up the metaphorical sleeves and come out swinging.

It's baffling right? The only way it makes sense to me is that they truly don't care about anything but maintaining their status quo... Even though they allow the right to push it further and further right. They just go with and make sure they don't cause a fuss.

The important word to me here is "plan." We are in uncharted territory and normie politicos don't know the correct way to act here, so they will follow the polling rather than lead out in front of it because the latter is risky. Biden will fight, but only after following to see what works first.

If I had to wager a reason: they want to keep some distance between thy criminal prosecutions and the campaign to avoid the sense they are linked. We'll see if they change their tune, but the next few trials are federal, so it's even more fraught.

This might be one of those issues where proxies do the heavy lifting. I'm also going to be curious to see how Biden handles this during the debates. Debates don't often have defining moments but Biden might be able to needle TFG into meltdown.

They think fighting would alienate Republican voters, who they still have fantasies of winning over, while taking their own flagging and demotivated base for granted.
