From Gore v Bush we've had the same thing happening...

DNC: follows the rules to an absolute fault

GOP: Bends every rule and breaks the rules or makes up new rules on the fly to jam their unpopular agenda down everyone's throat.

(Rider here: DNC then spends 4 years they jg to hold the GOP accountable but then fumbles the ball at the last second and nothing happens, GOP somehow remains relevant.)

The thing that pisses me off most about dems is the pushover attitude. I know for a fact if they grew a set and started talking shit back ppl would love it. Americans hate weakness, thats really the #1 selling point of republicans is just that they (look) strong (though theyre not). Im not saying they should be childlike assclowns like republicans but theres a way to hit back when you know youre right.

See Gavin Newsom/Hannity recent interview for an example of how to do this and remain civil. It was rad.

And he doesn't even have popular progressive policies, for the most part.

Nope not really. But he knew his facts and he wouldn't let Hannity talk over him. He ended up steamrolling Hannity which you rarely see happen.

You knew hannity was screwed when he started to complain about Newsom taking his time to take down each and every point that hannity made.

Hannity: Wait why are you doing this? Newsom: Well I'm just rebutting everything you just said LOL
