I speculated that DNC was waiting for the 1/6 commission, the Roe fallout ... Putin to croak, who knows what?
Meanwhile, the gamut of issues is left to MSM. Everything is left to MSM.

Ultimately, this is a campaign year, where you make bold points designed to motivate the team and to win voters at the proverbial edge.
This ass-dragging is like the safety commission waiting out months of lab tests instead of issuing a warning "This toy contains contact poisons and explodes at random times".
Brings to mind ----
The Buddha tells a parable of a man who is shot by a poisoned arrow, but before the injured man will allow a doctor to remove the arrow, he insists on knowing the name of the archer, where the archer was from, what was the caste of the archer's family, where the arrow was made, what type of wood was used to form the arrow, etc. Such a man, the Buddha said, would die before learning the answers to his questions.
Yes, let's take some more time to come up with a campaign that will win a Pulitzer prize. (NOT)
You're shot with a poison arrow. Pull it, Sir. (borrowing from a Joseph Pulitzer quote)

OP
Your name is "anti-repub," yet you promote an idea to divide the party & let Repubs win. Why?
