Dems should do.

Now really think about the kind of ad you are suggesting: a scroll of hundreds and hundreds of crimes in the space of thirty or forty-five seconds. It would be too much for people to read or even synthesize. And it would really be an intellectual exercise that has no emotional impact, and good political ads have an emotional component.

Lists?...WP/NYT have lists...Rachel has lists..as for the Lincoln Project: not that I'm not delighted with their sledgehammer ads (because I am ) but where the hell were they in 2016?...these GOP operatives/pundits were out there working for the very Trump ass-kissing enablers they now want run out of office...they were ok with the crap Trump and their party was throwing at Hillary until Trump set up shop (literally) in the White House...it remains to be seen if this is their epiphany moment...maybe I should be grateful they are with us and not against us...maybe better late than never..I don't know...let's see if they return to their comfort zones ones Biden is in.
