4) majoritarian rules, but the principle stands. Dems who stand with the GOP on any issue should be exiled, removed from their committee assignments. There is no such thing as "moderate," in any case. It's an emotional designation, not an ideological one. Look up - ThreadSky

5) the history of Congress prior to 1861, and the toughening of the Northern Republicans. Look at the velocity with which Hitler removed German democracy.

If we remain in last century's politics, we'll be the bodies others are stepping over in less time than one would think.

I don't agree with all of this. There are issues that we Dems can share with GOP that do not warrant exile. It is just that those issues pale in comparison to the plundering of our nation by the wealthy and destruction of the rule of law. Nuance is ok to me.

1) You're missing my point. We need visible, organized, staunch, overt resistance from democrats. Policy arguments are irrelevant except as slogan. Taking a safe vote in Congress is a losing strategy. People need to see resistance. They don't need to see more careerism.

2) As of this point, bi-partisanship is a fool's errand. The GOP doesn't care about it, and we'll win no votes (not that that will matter) because of it. There's nothing we can share with the GOP. Was there anything worth sharing with Confederates? With Nazis?

There are many communities that pay extremely close attention to what might seem to be mundane federal legislation that would disagree. Some places are virtually dependent on bipartisanship. I wish I was free to elaborate, but I am not.

1) It will not matter if elections are manipulated. There are key precincts. Both parties know where and which they are. Republicans control more state legislatures, more of the judiciary, and the entire Federal government. There is no shot

2) for an untampered election.

This is precisely why Trump removed all impediments, precisely why Manafort delivered all that poll data to the Russians.

You're basing your strategy on a politics which died beginning in 2016, and which expired in 2024. I'm glad you've faith. I have none.
