What are you trying to do, Steny, make sure not one Democrat stands?
This is really all about rallying the base. Which shows the desperate position the Dems know they’re in.
They figure that things are so stacked against them that putting this out now won’t hurt them. Anyone offended by it was going to turn out and vote against the Dems anyway. So they do it to demonstrate to their base that they are still fighting, so the base won’t just get demoralized to the point of staying home. Which would turn the pending disaster into a catastrophe.
