Do you want to speak out against Marcellus' execution before it actually occurs?
Do you think you might be able leverage your political influence to do something to stop it?
No? Okay, well maybe just grandstand and exploit his murder so you can gain clout instead.
Liberals are opposed to every war except the current one, they are opposed to every execution except the pending one
the most coherent thing i've heard (somewhere on here but i don't recall who) is that democrats treat every lead in polls as an excuse to pivot right, they want to win as narrowly as possible to govern as ineffectually or right-wing as practicable, while holding their own electorate hostage.
Libs are the 'take me hostage daddy' sort though; they hardly seem fazed being pulled rightward. At this rate, the DNC may just research how to stop Donald's aging so they can ride this gravy train as far right as it'll go.
I believe the kink term for this is "topping from the bottom" which is generally considered toxic behavior as it usually is not something that was negotiated or agreed upon
