... our loyal public servants deserve MORE CREDIT for all the things that they ARE doing under these impossible circumstances rather than blaming them "not doing" things that others should do and that would only distract from their actual duties and responsibilities.

Besides, have you not been paying attention? There are PLENTY of elected high-profile Democrats who ARE doing the exact same things you demand... yet the urge and temptation cannot be resisted to smear the entire party for not putting on an entertaining show of anger and outrage in front of the cameras. They can't ALL be Swalwell, Sanders, Ocasio-Cortez. Newsom, Pritzker, Murphy, Waters, Jeffries, James, Crockett, Warren, Walz, Schiff. What more do you want? What exactly are you expecting that would justify such a broad-brush swipe and smear at "the Democrats"?

They deserve our GRATITUDE, not contempt and blame.
