Probably afraid that government contracts will be lost and how he could mobilize his supporters to stop using their products and services. What they don’t want to admit to themselves is he may do that on a whim anyway. Democrats have economic power that they aren’t using. That needs to change.

I view infrastructure as illustrative of my point. Despite its broad popularity, Repugs opposed it in Trump’s first term even though he supported it. And partially because of their ambivalence, the Biden bill, although valuable, was too small given the country’s glaring needs.

The ACA is an anomaly. 2 factors affected public opinion. 1) For budgetary reasons it didn’t take effect for 4 years. 2) Lieberman’s duplicity prevented the inclusion of a public option which would have broadly lowered costs. Overall, I still think Dems are hurt by consultant-driven politics.

This points to an important difference between the parties. Republicans lead opinions of their base, while Democrats respond to it. In the abstract, that may be more democratic, but politically it’s a problem because Democrats don’t seem to stand for anything.
