Part of the answer is that people like Sebby, and people who pay less attention to politics than he does, have such a strong Both Sides instinct. Sure, the Republican Party is organizing around the principle that when a Democrat wins an election, it's illegitimate, but look, AOC is progressive and she bothers a lot of people too.

Republicans fight back. It's way easier to just shove Al Franken in front of a bus.
