The other reason is it *wrecks your credibility* on everything you’ve been saying and should still be saying about him. “He’s a criminal and a threat to democracy, who we eagerly look forward to working with for the common good” does not compute. People will reasonably conclude all that was BS.

one reason democrats should cut the “we just want to work together” shit is that you lose the opportunity to do things like, for instance, hold a loud press conference on the fact that trumps ICE thugs arrested a veteran www.newarknj.gov/news/mayor-r...

"Obviously he's a thug whose main concern is how much applause he gets. I guess that means I'm supposed to flatter him, but I can't do that, because he's a thug. It's a shame that just enough people who know this didn't vote, don't you think?"
Same message, every time.
2) most of them already think Dems eat babies and drink their blood
You simply cannot make a credible claim that someone is an actual, viable threat against our country and then, a few days later, welcome them to your (White) house with open arms.
You can't do that w/an enemy of the state and if someone is a threat to the USA they are an EofS.
So you end up totally drowning out the substance of your core message
