I am really not sure what you want of them. You want them to use intimidation, but apparently not to use propaganda similarly. You want them to use fear, just not against your preferred groups.

What we want of them??!? Read this article, or skim it and tell me the basic premise isn’t correct. It was austerity elements in the party that steered us away from the change necessary to prevent fascism prospect.org/politics/mak...

You can use intimidation in ways that don't threaten bodily harm for fucks sake

Yes, one can. But it is common for actions to escalate. Trump/MAGA have already escalated not only to threats, but to real bodily harm. How long do you think it would be for people to start calling on Dems to "fight fire with fire". Hint, we are already there.

The Dems are sternly wagging their finger at the fire as it starts to burn down their house around them

I am asking you how you would have suggested doing that. Of course you can threaten to withhold party support. So they choose to caucus as independents or GOP. What has been gained. How do you know that was not done?

I already said what they could have done. And whatever they did, it wasn't enough. Because at the end of the day, Manchin and Sinema were able to fuck up Dem legislation and leadership fucking let them
