On Monday, members of the Electoral College will vote in Donald J. Trump as president. Though he lost the election by nearly three million votes and almost daily generates headlines about new scandals, the Democratic Party is doing little to stop him. If you've been asking yourself "Where are the Democrats?" you're not alone.

Since the election, top Democrats have been almost absent on the national stage. Rather, they have been involved largely in internecine warfare about how much to work with Mr. Trump. The Hillary Clinton campaign, trying to encourage a peaceful transition, has gone almost completely dark, with her most notable appearances coming in selfies with strangers. Nobody deserves downtime more than Mrs. Clinton, but while she is decompressing, the country is moving toward its biggest electoral mistake in history.

Fight like Republicans? Explain that one please. The majority of republicans have been rolling over to progressivism for years.

This is on the opinion pages and the writers don't work for the Times.

Obviously, the Times hates Trump, and the paper wouldn't have published the article if they didn't find something in it to agree with, but it's not printed or posted as a news story.

These are the people who insist they are “centrist” and “mainstream” as well as “credible.” I know because I saw a chart they put out on it just yesterday.

"fight like Republicans"

What, are they encouraging Democrats to cave-in and apologize for their very existence?
