too many democrats want to go back to the “good old days” of bipartisanship
Democrats, despite preaching bipartisanship, do not want it. In fact, they benefit greatly from the trumpification of the republican party as they can gather their votes without making any significant concessions to the voter by denouncing how outrageous the republican party is.
They ARE human beings, who need to both be deprogrammed and held accountable, proportionally to their actions. But they didn’t just spontaneously erupt in hate and bigotry, people aren’t born that way, they are socialised to be that away.
There is a collection of deeply effective systems at play here that control every aspect of our lives and those, and the people who run and directly profit from them, are to blame, not the individuals they manipulate, however hateful and harmful and misguided they become.
You’re never going to solve a problem by attacking its by-products, but only by destroying it from the roots.

That attitude isn’t helpful either.
Bipartisanship is possible, but only by convincing everyone to come further left.
Because actual left leaning policy is popular.
That’s the true lesson that Democrats refuse to learn. Mostly because they’ve been paid not to.
We need a cardinal voting system.

Dehumanizing them is counterproductive.
