It felt like there was no response from the Dems, let alone the one I was expecting and looking forward to. Why is that? Speaking for myself, I'm done wondering about that. As you say, they could be unprepared or they could be afraid. I suppose they could even be phonies that never believed in Dem principles to begin with. To me, it doesn't matter now. They're not doing the job. And the rest of us (the majority of the people who didn't vote for this) seem to be on our own.
