6. No Sellouts: Just Scared

I believe all of our Democratic representatives care for this country and the people. They aren't sellouts. They are being backed into a corner by those who have a lot of money to fund campaigns. We need to support Biden and our reps. I agree that most, if not all, of us will support the blue regardless; however, I'm not certain that is a wise position to declare publicly. If you want our reps to stand firm with Dark Brandon, they need leverage. The only leverage they have is the base. If I were Schiff, or Pelosi, or any of the others, I'd be warning those who are, shall we say "exploiting if not extorting" that if they lose the base the election will truly be lost. Our times are terrifying, but we can't let fear cause us to be stupid and throw the Biden out with the bath.
