I like what @NicolleDWallace said about democrats being "wrapped around the axel of process." But the process itself is less the problem that a small handful of democrats used process and bipartisanship to hide.
She's right, the GQP would have dismissed every part of the process that would have been in the way, and every bill, process and rule that they needed to accomplish their goals would have been put in place back in February had they won the White House and both houses of Congress.
Meanwhile, democrats writ large are dithering because of a clutch of the party that's in a state of self-imposed suspended animation. Here's the reality: there are some democrats who simply don't care about the rights, interests or wellbeing of the American people.
They know that bipartisanship doesn't exist. The GQP has said so. While the republicans lie about a lot, there's no reason for them to lie about that, because brute partisanship is the key to their power.
That means while democrats vacillate, they are throwing the baby out with the bath water, and he's circling the drain. The bathwater is politics and process; the baby is democracy.
John Legend said it best: Democrats have to be willing to fight, because the republicans are.
John Legend said it best: Democrats have to be willing to fight, because the republicans are.
So it's our job to make them care because they currently hold the office making them - not the republicans - the real problem, or the make they understand that we are coming for the offices that they hold so dear and are using for their own ego-centric benefit.
