Democrats aren’t spineless. they are operating in a world where republicans own the majority of the media and will repeat whatever they say. For example, The democrats lost a lot of local elections last cycle because republican media scared everyone into thinking crime rates were soaring even though they’re at all time lows. Republicans have gerrymandered so well that they have to be extremely careful or risk losing even in states where they have the majority of voters.
Republicans have been playing a long game starting with Regan and they are in their end game now.
Of course it is. Democrats either do the right thing and appear soft on immigrants right before election l, or they do the wrong thing and these sick fucks get to have fun continuing to torture and kill people. It’s really. A win-win for them.
