Thanks for writing this post. While I support the Bulwark pointing out issues that the Democrats are not doing well, I sometimes think that there is a superficial reaction to that as are some of the points made in this Morning Shots as you point out. The lockdown comment particular resonates.

The thing is, I also support the Bulwark, that's why I subscribe to them. But it's also why I feel like readers should challenge them when they feel that things are somewhat off. The purpose of the Bulwark in the Trump years was simple: oppose him and his ilk. Because they were bad.

The thing that really sticks out to me about this one is that, well, you have two possible outcomes: either voters are entirely divorced for reality, to the point that political commentary no longer serves a purpose, or we have to look at things as they are, which is that democrats actually police their own when they feel they step out of line. Which should be a good thing.
