It should not be this close; I know. Sadly there is no excuse for the Democrats letting their leadership get away. It's less the debate debacle, and more their insistence on "taking the high road." Nobody's on that road but them. There was sufficient ammo for Biden to have wiped the floor with Trump, but he didn't do it for whatever reas…

The problem is that since SCOTUS has legalized political bribery and doubled down on it. (Gratuities to government officials aren't bribes? I was born in the morning, but not yesterday morning.) Both parties can talk all they want, but they don't control The Money. And without The Money, they can't win office. This is late stage capitalism.
Capitalism always aggregates into fewer and few hands over time. That's how it works. Once this process comes to full fruition, regulation is nearly impossible; the rich just buy politicians. What we are seeing now is the final spasm of freedom and outright looting of the population. Sadly, only pitchforks are going to change things.
I agree Suzie with everything. Michelle Obama has damaged the party with her refrain of When they go low we go high, that is the refrain of a loser.
There is a Scottish song that goes Ye take the high road and I'll take the load road and I'll be in Scotland afore ye"
I know we are screwed by billionaires and corporations. we have been since I've been alive, but now the billionaires and corporations have thrown in their lot with authoritarians and theocrats because they think that their money will save them, and that their money will enable them to control the authoritarians. They know nothing of history.
They let their leadership get away because they don’t care enough. Nothing is really going to change much for the Schumer’s and Pelosi’s of the Democratic Party if Trump gets elected.they go home to their gated communities and continue ur to live in their bubble. Arrogant.
Not sure I agree 100% but there IS a certain amount of status quo thinking going on. And arrogance. But mostly a sad delusion that if they are nice enough, Republicans will come around to cooperation and care for the country. Bullies don't stop bullying until you hit them hard on the shins with a wooden dowel. I can tell you this from experience. I'm speaking metaphorically in the case of Democratic politicians, but accurately in my own case. I have grown weary of the Democratic motto of: "We can't. The Republicans won't let us. They'll be mad at us."

Exactly.
