saw: I honestly do not know why they are so incredibly timid, it’s insane

At some point Democratic elected officials will notice that when Donald Trump has a personal setback the majority of the population literally celebrates in the street, I hope.

I honestly do not know why they are so incredibly timid, it’s insane

My theory is it's eternally 1985 in their ossified old minds.

Being of voting age during 72 and 84 elections made some deep scars.

Losing Congress in Clinton's first term

Reagan broke these ppl. Not until all of the old Democrats are gone.

Asking as a boomer myself, is there any evidence that boomer Democrats are soft on Trump? Maybe it's my bubble, but I can tell you 100% of my cohort that I know personally and adjacent are anti-fascist and liberal. And very pro 34, as it were. And then some.

My guess is it's the senior (in every sense) Democrats who've spent the last 40 years listening to their consultants and inside-the-beltway ever-so-savvy columnists?

It’s because they all have West Wing brain and frankly liking that show should be immediately disqualifying for holding public office past a certain level of responsibility lol

It’s 1994 and all they can hear is Newt and Rush in their hearing aids

Or 1994

when they go low we go high blah blah

Literally a lot of the leadership was around when they had the entire Reagan administration dead to rights on Iran-Contra and shit didn't happen with that so they're a little gun shy about attacking Republicans for their plainly illegal bullshit.

Complacency

All I see is them celebrating the jury and condemning Trump and calling him a convicted felon. What do you think they are being timid about?

I was going to read a few news stories before mentioning the verdict to my less-online wife. Meanwhile, her phone was exploding with Democratic fundraiser texts :-)
