Faced with existential threats from the right, the Democratic leadership remains timid; faced with demands for justice from the left, it goes on the attack.
They know how to fight. We’ve seen how they consistently fight dirty against progressives, especially Bernie Sanders. They know how to play the game, they just don’t do it against Republicans. Republicans get invited to speak at DNC conventions.
Republicans get invited to speak at DNC conventions
I’m totally fine with Republicans going to DNC conventions and telling the world how terrible Traitorapist Trump is. None of them were giving us their policy positions. Showing the world that even Republicans hate Traitorapist Trump was a good thing not a bad thing.
So, establishment Republicans,who everybody hates, including most right leaning voters, made sure everybody understood that they hate Trump. Gosh, that almost seems like something that could backfire.
Being hated by the political establishment is Trump’s entire brand. Americans loathe the political establishment. Were it not for Trump’s bungling of COVID, he would have won with Biden’s help in 2020. People thought I was crazy to say we might ultimately wish he had won, but I think it’s pretty clear now that it would have been better.
If attacking Trump was going to help Democrats, it would have happened a long time ago. For a lot of voters it might as well be an endorsement. All the worst things Trump actually did in his 2016 term were standard Republican shit. Biden should have called that out and tied them to each other. Trump is an anchor on establishment Republicans, and establishment Republicans are an anchor on Trump. That’s how you use narrative to win elections. Voters don’t work the simplistic way Democrats seem to believe.
