They think decorum still applies. Unfortunately, the other party isn’t operating in good faith. But the GOP wins no matter what because they already claimed Dems are marxists. This prevents Dems from acting to save democracy for fear of reprisals.
I think the D's are afraid of the media and not without reason. But I also think they need to get over it. They should treat the corporate media like the R's do, i.e. always work the refs.
There are some exceptions, e.g. Gavin Newsom, Pete Buttigeig, Jasmine Crocket, AOC. They are all willing to cross swords with who ever is on air with them, including the interviewers. More Ds need to take notice. I know it's difficult, but if they can't do it, we need to find others who can.
I also liken them to French Generals in 1940. Ready to fight the last war, but completely inept at fighting the one they were in despite having a larger army with tanks and artillery that stacked up well against the German army of 1940 (despite popular notions to the contrary)
They're like, "We've got Maginot Line with all these super-duper strong forts. They'll never get through that! What, they went around it and are using massed armor columns? Hey, you can't do that! It's not fair! That's not the way wars are supposed to be fought!
Dems are paralyzed at this point. Trump has turned them into a party afraid to act because any actions will be deemed as socialist/marxist/evil by Trump and his accomplices.
