This is baseless, shallow criticism. You're blaming Dems for not being confrontational for all the wrong reasons here...

Democrats are likely to be very middle of road, non-confrontational for the balance of the year for fear of offending anyone right before the election.
They are all acting as if the country isn't literally coming apart but politics is politics.


Puh-lease. This is a shallow appearances-only take on Democrats.
You seriously think this of Democrats?? You must not have been reading the nets, and especially here, about how we can best win the midterms -- which is to make sure that we HAVE MIDTERMS.

Democrats are backing all the national protests and protestors, and keeping them non-violent because they know that the felon would invoke the insurrection act and/or martial law if they did otherwise -- and you should know that by now, too -- because using their "2nd amendment remedy" would be exactly the pretext the felon needs.

Moreover, Democrats nationwide are keeping the peace by working through the courts.

Most important of all, Democrats do not want to do anything that would become a pretext for suspending the midterm elections.


You, even as angry as your name suggests, should know this about Democrats and the current situation.
