      It’s principle. Where they disagree strongly with you, Dan, is that they think democracy matters more than those policy areas where they’ve long agreed with you. I’ve heard several of them discuss it quite eloquently.

      My quarrel is with the refusal to even engage with conservative arguments any longer about the structural threats the Democrats & their ideology & methods present to the system.

      Democrats’ ideology poses no threats to the system in the way Republicans’ ideology does. It’s that simple One party is happily tying itself to a guy who courted an insurrection & gaslighted people about an election. The other did not.

      You said it yourself: it's about a guy. As opposed to a systematic, century-long effort to remove the Constitution from constitutional law & empower judicial & administrative discretion & permanent autopilot budgeting to the detriment of the elected branches.

      It's about a guy who revealed a giant cancer in the GOP, and who acted as a test of character failed by millions. I have said - just a few days ago here - that the left has a totalitarian streak. But that notional threat pales next to the *demonstrated damage* of the GOP.

      My issue is with saying "well Trump and Trump and Trump and also Trump and whatabout Trump" and then not even reading the details of the bills they are promoting.

      Elections have consequences. The reason we're all about Trump is that the GOP has been captured by Trump and has taken a clear stand of 100 percent obstruction. What's to discuss? The GOP has no interest in good-faith bargaining over any bill, so why bother arguing?

      Because if you're deciding whether to support or oppose a bill, you should care what it actually contains.

      If I agree with most of it, and I my objections to the parts I don't like will result only in giving ammo to bad-faith attempts to derail it, what's my objective here? No GOPer will act on principle, so, okay, pass it. That's the good-enough solution.

      This is exactly the approach conservatives used to take: Take the good-enough solution, and don't do needless damage to the party that you want to stay in power. Mitch McConnell would approve, and you know he would. But now you want principled policy discussions? Ah, okay.

      Except the bill does vastly more harm than good. It's the "something must be done, this is something" rationale.

          You just swapped the standard from “Tom should know what’s in the bill and he should support at least 50% of the bill before promoting it” (or he is carrying water for Dems w/ bad faith TDS) to “my position is obviously correct>the bill is more bad than good.”https://twitter.com/baseballcrank/status/1369865644984967179 …

          Rather than stick to 1 argument re Bulwark, Tom, good/bad reasons for anti-Trumpers to support D bills, you changed the subject to an up or down approval of the bill. You may be right on the bill, but it’s irrelevant to Bulwark or Tom’s motives (TDS vs beef with post-Trump GOP).

          I disagree about the bill, but I thought this was about whether those of us hoping the Democrats remain in the majority are just doing it out of spite.

          It was, until Dan was exposed as dishonest about that, then it became about something else. That’s this feed’s daily bread.
