I’ll say it again; the weirdest thing about all of this is how tentative the mainstream DNC leadership seems to be about this. Sure the media is doing a full court press, as could be expected, but all the familiar faces you’d expect to be directly howling about Trump’s refusal to concede are all lukewarm about it if not conspicuously absent entirely.
Pelosi has her own shit to deal with, so no surprise that she hasn’t chimed in, but where’s Schumer? Fienstien? Warren? Fuck, even Hillary hasn’t come out of her lair for more than a handful of weakass jabs.
Biden himself has only thrown the occasional snipe about orderly transitions, when you’d expect him to be dropping the hammer on Trump directly. He’s not acting like a confident leader with a real mandate; he’s acting like not all the cards are on the table yet.
To play devil’s advocate though, he’s got plenty of reason to not want to alienate Trump voters. That, plus it’s no secret that the DNC is reeling from the losses in the house, and there’s likely a lot of infighting. They’re trying to consolidate power; divisive rhetoric can backfire now, that’s why they’ve kicked the “unity” talk into high gear as if people are going to forget they were calling people fascists for 4 years.
While Trump’s chances are slim, but the DNC establishment seems to have learned it’s lesson about underestimating him. Still, I can’t help shake the feeling that the Dem leadership is acting like they know how tenuous the situation is. They’re acting gun shy in the same way you’d expect them too if they really were worried about the consequences of massive fraud being discovered.
