Someone posted here recently asking why Clinton, Obama and Biden have been quiet about our democracy

Eroding under the orange taco Hitler and I think the reason is they are afraid they will lose secret service protection if the orange monster in anger takes over this security and the repukes in congress are too afraid to stand up to their magaloon leader and disagree.

And I hope Mike Pence and Kamala Harris stay safe. We are headed into a crazy violent hateful environment perpetrated by an evil monster.

That isn’t the issue. They may actually support the initial action Israel took.

They are just not being covered as Trumps goal is to always have the spotlight. But I watched this the other day. Obama was brilliant:

I often see posts on DU asking why that this or that Democrat has ‘said nothing.’

It isn’t Obama’s etc fault that a poster hasn’t seen them.

I’ll also note media doesn’t really cover retired Democrat presidents much

The media doesn't care. That's why I get my media from a few YouTube people, and sometimes AP. The local news stations seem tp be especially caught uncovering details of the Combs trial, however.
