i don't have the time to argue properly, but basically my point is that this "viable option" isn't so viable - morally is one thing, but also in terms of beating the republicans.
trump's people have written their plans out, and the dems have done nothing to slow any of it.
the most damning thing about this viability is that, without a change in politics, it is going to be this decaying thing vs the right, every single election from now until .. is going to be "the most important chance to stop fascism", and there simply isn't an eternal 272 EV coalition to do that. people vote because of economic reasons or immigration or charisma or the stupidest things possible. at some point, most likely this year itself, that dam will break.
the dems had to be unified and decisive if they did perceive this as a fascist threat. for example, appointing a better AG once it became clear that garland wasn't up to the job. or, trying to make laws about the election. or, court packing. they haven't even whispered about any of this, let alone try.
