    It’s much easier to fight when you don’t care about what kind of damage it’ll do.

    I’m not saying this to defend the Democrats, just to point out that Republicans have a massive natural advantage on this stage. I don’t think their success comes as much from competence as it does from being naturally aligned with doing harm.

      Yeah, I see they play by an entirely different rule book. It almost seems like fundamentally by caring about something other than yourself, you are limited by a moral constraint.

      By the way many Democrats have the same end goal as Republicans, to make and preserve as much wealth and power for their in-group. They are just nicer about it. But there is a small chunk of Democrats that are actually trying to get real radical change, but they’re being fought against by the other 95% of Congress.
