right now, the extent of what democrats can do is hounding and shame, which they should do! biden should condemn the insurrectionist members of the court, durbin and whitehouse should hold hearings and demand that alito and thomas both answer questions before congress. make it a spectacle, basically
alito is playing in our faces because he knows there’s nothing we can do about it and he has total contempt for the idea that he might be accountable for anything he does
Wild the degree to which they don’t understand this. So many Americans don’t even know this stuff is happening. Trump has been showing them how to be loud all the time, consuming all the oxygen so people are constantly talking and thinking about him for almost 10 years and they still haven’t learned
The idea that “you have to behave like Trump in order to succeed in today’s political landscape” is kind of sickening in general, but especially so to liberal professional types who are so, so, profoundly unlike Trump. They know they couldn’t pull it off even if they wanted to (which they don’t).
If anything Biden came as close as anyone to figuring it out at their 2020 debate. Simply saying “Will ya shut up for once, man?” but otherwise sticking to convention is probably the best course of action. You don’t want to get too deep into into the mud with him; he lives there and you don’t.
I mean, you don’t have to be like him, beyond being willing to yell your message loudly, consistently, confidently across all platforms. That message can (and should) be hopeful and coherent. But you have to deliver it strongly enough to compete
