DUers who claim they're giving up are making this happen:

1. I'm not giving up

Not giving in to the propaganda. Not even close.

[bdamomma]

2. Nope I am

NOT giving up. I want to see that TFS and Putin go down.

[Meadowoak]

3. Sometimes I have to step away, just to keep my sanity. But I will never give up.

[dobleremolque]

4. You'll never be able to sit back and declare victory in this kind of struggle, and wander off to do something else.

It is ongoing, constant and unrelenting. There is no possibility of a truce any more. "Bi-partisan" should be struck from the Democratic political vocabulary. Not because we have changed, but because THEY have. And not for the better.

Even with the Blue Tsunami in 2024, the struggle continues to every election after that. That struggle extends to every political level in this country where a vote can be cast; from President of the United States all the way down to member of the municipal library board.

5. I'm still working to reelect President Biden

but I have given up on any expectation that our courts will hold or that they will do anything but bow down to that orange man.

He appears to not be subject to laws, rules, norms or anything.

6. Who's giving up?

I see a lot of unnecessary hand wringing and pearl clutching, but so far haven’t seen anyone proclaim they are giving up.

[ecstatic]

7. they might be giving up on expecting justice in the courts

not necessarily giving up on the election fight ahead.

For me, nothing has changed. Holding that mf accountable has always been a long shot BUT I still demand and expect justice. I don't think we should loosen up on our demands and expectations of how a coup plotter should be treated.

8. Oh, stop it. No they aren't. They're discouraged for good reason, and expressing it. It's allowed.
