        i guess this all comes down to what cowardice is, because i would argue the cowardice is the root of the complicity. they’d rather go along with things than risk the comforts they’ve gained. they refuse to standup and do what is right because that would be scary. better to maintain the status quo, even as it collapses into a new, worse, status quo, than to risk losing some luxuries to ensure that their constituents, us, get the best possible outcome in this situation

          The question is: do they even want to do the right thing? Look at Fetterman, for example. I don’t think he’s a coward. I think he’s just wrong.
