The problem there is that Democrats have some level respect for the rules. They are, for better or worse, too docile to play by the Republican rulebook (which was seemingly printed on a cocktail napkin). The Republicans have no respect for the rules. They’ve shown it time and time again. There were at least three headlines in the past week, before the debate.
You can’t win that game playing the rules, but agreeing to breaking the rules just means that fascism wins, and in doing so, the Republicans win.
The best way to have fixed this was to have been properly calling people out along the way, and recalling congressmen and impeaching judges for years. The second best way would’ve been to vote them out and stop voting for charlatans. We are long past both those ways. The Republican party of today is made by and for liars, cheats, and scoundrels, and they control a solid 1.5 thirds of our federal government today.
That is where the Democrats fucked up. This has been a slow decline to hell since Reagan, and it ramped right the hell up after McCain/Palin. They’ve had decades to plant that tree and they’re still debating over the best time do it now.
Best proof of this was the impeachment (impeachments) of Trump. They knew going into it that it was a token move and it wouldn’t mean shit once it got to Senate. If.
But by then they waited for too long. Trump is the result of a shit storm decades in the making, not it’s cause.
And what are they supposed to do? Not even try to hold him accountable and prove that nobody will even attempt it?
Once again millennials will have to barely survive thanks to the actions of our elders, and we’ll surely get their misdirected grief for it. We crawl so our parents could run. Now all that’s left to do is wait for their hearts to give out and hopefully there’s something left to trickle down.

Agreed. Well said.

Again, very well said.
