As someone who's been suspicious of the Democratic leadership for some time now, even I'm taken aback by their messaging of late, which amounts to, "We're less sociopathic than the GOP on the margins, and we will therefore kill marginally less of you for profits."
Also, "We will do the bare minimum expected of any half-decent leader during a crisis, and no more."
"Now, like every other moment in my long career in politics, is not the time to talk about transformative change, or any significant progressive reforms for that matter."
"Please vote for the party that will do nothing to prevent future crises, but will do more, on the margins, to manage those crises once they strike."
"The world we envision for you and your children or grandchildren is one much like the present world, albeit probably much worse, but not as bad as it would be if you vote for the other guy."
"We understand your concerns about the latest drastic upward redistribution of wealth and power to the people killing you, but we don't care, although we do care more than Trump and the GOP, on the margins."
" #MeToo . LOL."
"We have heard your concerns, and we will act accordingly. Which is why we will continue to insult all of you every day on every platform and worship at the feet of Andrew Fucking Cuomo."
