In my opinion, the Democratic Party needs to be the Party of "moral clarity".
The Democrats who have any moral clarity have "walked away", or are doing so now.
If the party had nay moral clarity, they wouldn't have tried to extort Republicans with their shutdown antics.
They would have recognized that their response to Charlie Kirk's murder was all kinds of ****ed up.
They would recognize socialism and communism as a blight on human history. Certainly, they wouldn't make it their apparent default way of thinking.
They wouldn't cry "Life over property!" when the innocent defend themselves against criminal aggressors. A little moral clarity would show that it is the aggressor who would kill in order to steal who values property above life. Ditto "duty to retreat laws" that require the innocent to retreat before they can defend themselves.
If they had any moral clarity, they wouldn't be Democrats.
