3.5 years after Garland took office.
The point that elected Dems (and emptywheel) miss, evade, avoid, is that strong leadership has a way of influencing downstream events. And whatever you think about his abikity to change the outcome, Garland did not provide strong leadership.

How does someone go to prison if there's not a timely investigation - no functioning prosecutorial team? Everyone knows how long it takes for a case to work it's way through high $ lawyers. Merrick Garland's first task as AG was to protect Trump from E.J. Carroll. Riddle me why that would be.

And 40 years of clueless Dem pol leaders not even understanding that would be a problem, so they didn't have to figure out how to fight it. They prefer to have no strategy but show up & door knock in Sept/Oct of an election year & hope ppl are mad enough at the GOP.

When they lost the Dem presence and any Dem narrative to counteract the lies they hear 24/7, entire cultures became much redder. Losing vast swathes of the country means also losing Senators & MOCs. The Dem base should not accept the low effort, ossified "strategy" the old guard has. It's failed.
