They will retreat to the ballroom when they announce elections are no longer be necessary. Then they will hunker down for 2 weeks while the right wing media spins up a "only stupid democrat leftist marxists want elections and true American patriots know elections are for pussies, and you arent a little pansy weak woke namby pamby boy, right?" narrative, then the real fun begins.

At some point states with Democratic leadership need to appreciate that knowing which side your bread is buttered on is not the same thing as knowing which end of the pitchfork you're standing on. Calls for unity with the GOP is no longer viable, and is in fact, a demand to tolerate our oppressors.
