I was more sympathetic to this kind of stuff in 2016.
But this is mostly bullshit childishness from people with more interest in feeling like the good guys and earning the praise of their Democratic friends than their conviction.

Parties change over time, often in ways that people won’t like. But we’ve only got two of them. Do you want to affect change? Or do you want Politico to talk about you for being brave?
Seems to me that lots and lots of political types prefer the latter. The game hasn’t gone their way and so they would prefer to pick up the ball and go home.
In my book, that probably means you’re apathetic, lazy, or a coward.

And I say this as someone who hates much of what the GOP has become. My side has lost. The party is obviously being reframed with a worldview and around an individual in Trump whom I detest and have never liked.
The prospect that that could happen is tablestakes to politics.

So I don’t have much sympathy for those who have given in to being faint of heart because they don’t get to make the rules anymore.
To say nothing of the moral calculus in being a-okay with pointless wars that have killed hundreds of thousands but draw the line at Trump.
