    I wonder if they want to appear weak on purpose to bolster the “vote harder” case they will make. Its an awful strategy because anyone can look at what these elected Dems are failing to do and go “why do I want more of that?”

      I wouldn’t be surprised if the quasi-official plan of many dems in state government is to “play dead” and let Trump (and the GOP) “go too far”. Schumer, Jeffries, Pelosi, etc keep saying “We must keep our powder dry” and “we must choose our battles” and “Do not let Trump distract you!” I think DC dems are actually utilizing the play dead strategy and they all say to themselves “I am very smart.” It’s insane.
