“leftists who have hated Biden for years and opportunistic pundits who have hated Biden for years quickly agreed that the key to beating Trump is to relentlessly attack the duly nominated Democrat until he’s totally unelectable.”
with all due respect do people not realize this is extremely bad
The problem is that Republicans fight dirty and in this day and age being a good old honest guy doesn't cut it. Democrats need someone who can stand up to and face off against powerful people with no integrity who can tap into and appeal to the most primitive instincts of ordinary people.
Republicans just wield the power the constitution provides them. It isn’t fighting dirty, is the point of a political party. The Dems just choose to be ineffective as they are there to take up space so an actual opposition to the GOP can’t gain ground.
Good/Interesting point.
Points towards the current way each party "sees" the purpose and function of political structures and discourse. Either way, democrats need to toughen up if they want to protect a more balanced democracy
