The whining among Democrats over the Hunter Biden pardon is a symptom of what is wrong with the party. [View all]

If that couldn't be seen for what it was, then it's no wonder the inconsistency between claiming that Trump was an existential threat to democracy and then abjectly and absolutely failing to bring him to justice, and defending the incompetent attorney general who was the major cause of the failure is also something very wrong among Democrats.

I just wonder if we will ever get it. There are some Democrats who need to take some advice from constituents out here where we can't hide from reality in a government building office all day and sit down and keep their mouths shut, and avoid looking and sounding stupid.
