How are Democrats so terrible at politics?

They push, vote for, and sign the TikTok ban, and then at the last second try to backpedal and hand it to Trump as an easy victory and way for him to continue adding Gen Z support?

It’s just blatant incompetence from people whose entire brand is that they are smarter than everyone else.

EDIT: I apologize if it wasn't clear - I'm not even talking about the decision to ban TikTok or not (though in full disclosure I disagree with it). I am talking about handing Trump an easy political win by getting to be the one that "saves it."
