General Discussion

...and many of them spend almost all of their effort sowing cynicism about a party that many of them refused to support in the last election.

All of the movements that posture to reform the party are naturally exploited by people who never intend to show up on election day; exploited by people who want to dissuade Dems from showing up on election day.

All of the effort is just to denigrate the party and its principles, not on their efforts alone, but on the opposition's succes in succeeding; seemingly oblivious to the effect of their own divisive actions which almost never include any actual opposition against republicans.

They work to wedge support away from Democrats who were historically successful and able in ANY Democratic majority; most notably Sen. Schumer in the Biden term.

Tore down an incumbent president over Gaza, but can't be found today to oppose Trump's collusion with Israel. Where's the protests? Never mind.

And they denigrate the prosecutors of Trump, even as the convicted criminal and his DOJ mob purge those very prosecutors and lawyers from the Justice Dept. who the critics incredibly claim weren't investigating and prosecuting.

I mean, who attacks Donald Trump's prosecutors? Who does that? Who continues to make that their most pressing concern, and a prominent part of their messaging?

In Jack Smith's testimony to Congress, he testified that Trump bore responsibility for the attack on the Capitol on Jan. 6.

The Special Counsel who inherited over 20 Garland prosecutors in what CNN described at the time as a "fast-moving investigation" was relying on evidence to be used in the indictment; in the court he was already appearing in when voters pulled the rug out from under his prosecution; on evidence that MERRICK GARLAND had amassed through over 1500 arrests and nearly as many convictions up to sedition of people these same prosecution critics derided as 'foot soldiers' and immaterial to convicting Trump.

That's supposed to be the genius of screaming nonsense at Garland (and I mean screaming because, they NEVER come with facts about the case they're supposedly so concerned about, just their clawing at the people prosecuting).

They can't credibly discuss the case because, they never bothered to look at the state of the evidence; read through the challenges and claims of privilege; discern what court was adjudicating those claims, what judge set the date of the hearing and when; never bothered to say ONE WORD about the Trump friendly judges and justices who delayed their hearings and judgments on the unprecedented appeals until right up until we voted; clueless that this is something Jack Smith wrote in his report which they conveniently ignore.

The fucking weirdness, though, of being the people who are dragging Garland at the same time Trump is dragging the people who prosecuted him.

And we're supposed to believe they give a shit about the prosecution? No more than we should believe they care about achieving a Democratic majority, ever.
