I dont think this is planned.
It is just way too lemming like.
Everybody following everybody else off the cliff because well
The guy in front of me did it, so what could I do?
It is the Shirley Shirrod phenomenon. It is the avalanche that brought down our best messenger, Al Franken.
It is born from the belief that only a democrat has agency. Only a democrat can be to blame then.
The democrats, believing in agency, dont want to be bogged down in some meaningless fight
about her emails,
or his jokes
or her words taken way out of context
or whatever the gop made up yesterday and planted with the WSJ
So, they decide not to fight that beauty contest
To move on
To have a fight that matters about substance
Without realizing that in a world where democrats accept that only democrats can break
the rules
Or the law
There is never going to be a legitimate substantive fight about anything.
We need to declare we dont care what they throw at us. We stand with Joe Biden and Kamala Harris because we know they are sane and empathetic
and we know the gop is neither right now.
