    Exactly. People don't expect miracles but they want to know the politicians they support are putting in a good fight for their cause. It's demoralizing and demobilizing for Dems to see their leaders not put up a fight.https://twitter.com/alexburnsNYT/status/1360657934888415235 …

    I think this is true in a narrow sense, but in a broader sense there is obviously a great risk to a political party if and when a large part of its base concludes that mainstream leaders are too feckless to fight and win https://twitter.com/jbarro/status/1360657237673472004 …

        Maybe. Most of the hardcore base has already moved on to believing the fantasy that Garland will lock him up instead

        Especially because it is such an asymmetry with GOP leadership. They will do whatever whether breaking norms, laws or common sense to advance their argument. Meanwhile Dem leadership seems to be playing a completely different game AND following their own made up rules.

        It’s not. They have put up a great fight. Calling witnesses would change nothing and potentially drag out and weaken the power of what we’ve seen already.

        Can't use the word "fight," Jeet. Don't want to incite anyone.

        It’s how you end up with a democrat version of Trump because the base wants someone who will literally purge the leadership.

        They should not have put the witness question to a vote. They've shot themselves in the foot. An unforced political error.
