I mean, have you ever tried to sink to a toddlers level and get in a screaming match with them?
But sure, ideally we'd start running FDR style Dems again, get some of the 1/3 of the country who doesn't vote regularly, and conservatives can keep screaming into the void while Dems sweep every election that matters.
FDR literally only lost two states in 36, because he was legitimately trying to help the average American.
But the DNC is very open about not wanting that, and after NH I really think they'd go as far as ignoring results in a competitive primary in 2028.
So we're kind of stuck with trying to win over conservatives, that's the only direction the DNC recognizes as valid.
I've given up on winning the game, I'm just trying to lose as little as possible at this point. Definitely doesn't mean I have to like it either.
But the choice is try what we can or check out and watch it all burn down, I'm not ready for that yet.
Edit:
My bad, I didn't realize what you replied to.
I'm saying don't pay attention to what Republicans are threatening to do.
Regardless of what Biden does, they'll find an excuse to do it anyways. Because when Republicans try to explain why they're doing anything, they're almost always lying and just saying what they think the best answer is in the moment.
So Biden should have activated them immediately on title 10.
The longer he waits, the bigger chance a significant amount don't listen. And at that point it's a legit civil war.
