A fine rant in The Nation from Dave Zirin, "Why Democrats Won’t Throw a Real Punch":

     "But we need to lose the theory that these Dems are 'spineless'
     and just don’t understand how to wage political war. We know they
     can be vicious because we’ve seen them execute that kind of
     operation against the left since Ralph Nader caught them sleeping
     in 2000. We have seen them do it maliciously during Senator
     Bernie Sanders's two primary runs. We saw Black and brown women
     stamped as 'Bernie Bros' with enough, yes, ruthless, repetition
     to make it stick. We’ve seen President Barack Obama with all his
     rhetorical powers hector young Black men, but not aim his
     electric cadence at Musk and his Palo Alto brownshirts. It’s not
     that they cannot-- they will not. When it was Sanders or an
     individual who demanded even a modest change in policy on Gaza,
     they brought out the knives. When it’s Musk and his apartheid
     army of incels, they wield sporks. Yet, as we keep seeing, spork
     fighting is demoralizing."--------
