hmm i think that they assumed that they would be able to coast through this election Weekend at Bernie's-ing biden by emphasising trump's criminal charges, rape scandals, fearmongering about project 2025, etc. bad polling against trump was waved away by saying that it was republican biased (remember that isaac chotiner interview with that guy who ran "hopium chronicles" or whatever? that guy was a dem party insider, so to some extent i think that they've started believing their own propaganda like many republicans tend to). i think they thought that biden could outperform trump at the debates as well in terms of intelligibility but they overestimated his ability to orate at this stage and underestimated how "baked-in" trump's incoherence is to the wider electorate. think about how every vote blue no matter who guy was shrieking "the lugenpresse are focusing on "Biden's" "Dementia" while IGNORING how stupid trump sounds!!!" for a couple days there. trump's brain was 90% cocaine in 2016 and it is the same way today, but people were genuinely surprised by biden's inability to carry a debate. the donors that pay for nancy pelosi's stock market purchases got spooked and thought that biden was too cooked to outperform trump (probably not wrong given the polls) and started making calls so the plan had to change.

honestly i expect even trump getting his ear shot off will probably unleash a wave of vigilante violence against democratic party candidates, probably downstream of the ghouls that are actually responsible for the suffering inflicted by the dems. but for now, we post

i think that if you wrote and prepared for a speech you would not say things that are totally inconsistent with your ostensible beliefs, like talking about mexican immigrants raping women

I don't know that these are features or notions borne from liberalism and I think you might be giving liberalism too much credit when you associate it with them. but if I had to name it i feel like the common thread between the parts you've picked out are just equality and social justice
