They could at least stand behind the messaging from the campaign.

If you call someone a dangerous threat to democracy for a year, and then when they get elected you wish them well and act civil, it really undermines your point about the whole threat to democracy thing.

Exactly. I believe Trump truly is an existential threat to the world and American democracy. To Biden and Harris, it was just campaign jargon.

Wall, I for one appreciate when someone acta civil. Especially when they can't do anything anyway.

Because you have no fight in you. Was MLK civil? More than Malcolm, maybe, but no he wasn't.

Bernie Sanders has more fight right now than anyone in the upper echelons of the DNC.

Rude!

It's okay if your hot take isn't popular, don't take it out on everyone else though..

He's an idiot screeching for decorum during the fall of the Republic, he doesn't deserve better and coating an insult in wit doesn't change its nature or intent.
