The democrats served up his head on a silver platter. If they took it, they had 3-4 years to recover and come up with an alternative. That's an eternity in politics.

What did they think? MAGA would all of a sudden become Biden voters? ...or Progressives?

Instead they chickened out and hoped Trump would go away on his own or help them back someone else. A scenario that hasn't occurred in 77 years. So here we are.

Of course, I wish Biden would go away too...and we could all try to move onto a new generation, but Democrats never know when to walk away either.

Not to excuse at all what they did...

...because I agree, the solution was self-evident.

They were afraid MAGA would all of a sudden become non-voters.
Agreed. They need the MAGA contingent to win.

Even if they might loathe most of them. They couldn't figure out how to bury Trump and deliver a message to keep the MAGA people engaged. Instead, they just pander to them.
