Democrats would try to compromise with Grey Goo. They're unable (or unwilling) to treat anything as an existential threat, including literal existential threats.
Trump famously believes the last person he talked to.
It makes sense if they thought they made progress. He's an easy target to make progress on.
And someone will come in and show him a different idea at their earliest convenience.
Are they not supposed to try to convince the people who have all the power? I'm not sure you understand the situation here.
Talking to him is like drawing in sand. They've had enough experience with him to know how he operates at this point. They should know better than to think anything they say will get through to him long term or make statements to that effect and they should get out of the way of those who are trying to actually fight him. He has no shame and no integrity compromise will not work.
Yeah they know. They still have to try.
I know it's so much easier to throw rocks from the sidelines. There's shit they could and should be doing better. There's shit they absolutely should have done better in the past. But I understand the various reasons and forces, and I know these old fucks are trying.
They should be trying things with a chance of success, like public messaging.
