Amen. You explained a bit why some of the politicians are being idiots - they are being pressured by large donors. I will probably never understand why the large donors are being idiots, unless they actually prefer Trump to Biden, in which case why are they Democrats?

My perception (uninformed, because I don't know any of these people) is that Big Money tends to be nervous about protecting its perks, and it could be that Democratic-leaning Big Money is more nervous than the other kind because Democrats notoriously don't "fall in line" the way Republicans notoriously do.
Damn right, Democrats don't fall in line. That situation is good and bad, as sometimes we cannot get out of our own way. HOWEVER, those rich folks don't have crystal balls and have no concrete plan, PLUS their timing for wanting a different candidate is way off. They don't have any more of a vote than ordinary people. They ate also not in the trenches.

Amen! The timing and the lack of a plan are so glaring -- WTH didn't the Times and the Post and the rest of the punditocracy notice this??
All I can figure is dumbassery abounds.
