    The Dems have no spines. They let the Republicans play them like fiddles while they insist on maintaining decorum and “good faith” politics.

      I’m slowly, reluctantly, starting to seriously consider the often repeated possibility that they like things just as they are. They get to be the conservative party who masquerades as the left leaning party. R takes all the heat, D does whatever the billionaire class wants.

      If I fully accept that, it’s going to bring suicidal thoughts, but I’m starting to at least consider it, where previously I thought it was ridiculous tinfoil hattery.

      But, after seeing Harris reward the wave of enthusiasm she first received with pivoting on her heel and running as a more polite Republican, I’m having a hard time maintaining my tinfoil hat assessment.
