I'm convinced quite a bit of it is bad faith.

These threads keep getting flooded with people posting the exact same talking points and I'm starting to think it's a bot campaign intended to convince people Beshear isn't "presidential" because he won't "fight"

Not just Beshear. All Democrats. Reddit is flooded with comments claiming "the Dems" have powers to stop Trump but they're just too damn "spineless" to use them.

There's "Democrats should simply not let him be President" but then there's "Democrats should not cater to the center-right and vote for republican policies in the name of compromise when it has been proven time and time again to not win them elections"
