Frankly, it's a learning curve. Going from being legislators -- which is what most of them consider their "job" is, to using their offices to coordinate on a 24x7 Communications Operation, doesn't happen overnight.
Should they have gotten their shit together sooner? Sure. More of them should be holding more town meetings in Republican districts, holding shadow hearings. They should be rotating leadership appearances on EVERY network (including FOX). More of them should be out there raising money not just for their own next election, but for State Parties that desperately need funds to build operational infrastructure NOW to start reaching out to and actually LISTENING TO lost voters. The model of parachuting in in the last weeks for a specific candidate is a losing proposition.
Pretending that NONE of them is stepping up is counter-resistance disinformation. And that is something that every patriot who opposes this regime needs to f-ing STOP. Hope is the life's blood of resistance as much as lies are the life's blood of authoritarians.
You are a messenger. We ALL are. Think about what you post. Even if posting a criticism, have you bothered to dig a little deeper to find something to add that inspires hope? If not, if you care about actually winning this fight, I suggest you consider finding ways to keep your own hope alive, and find ways to make sure you call on others to do the same.
