This genre of posting has become some people's entire personality. As a military historian I can assure you, no struggle has ever been won by a crowd of nasty hecklers. Your historical role is never heroic, if even remembered. Just fyi.

Correction: EVERY struggle is won by nasty hecklers. It always starts with heckling. Courtesy to the enemy is submission. No one ever won a war by being polite. Nasty hecklers operate guillotines. Courteous collaborators go to them.

He’s right, though.

Then why is the OP pre-dooming? Why bother going there? I'm a New Yorker - you don't need to explain shit to us about being united against Trump. I'm just wondering why he's shaping that to oppose Dems. It's self defeating.

It’s not “pre-dooming.” It’s acknowledging reality.

It is not. Fuck you.

It hasn't happened, it is the definition of not reality. Stop being foolish at me.

It’s absolutely acknowledging reality. It’s taking available information and extrapolating. It’s also just extremely plausible.

I do it every day. It’s a major component of my career.

It's a part of my work, and I would never make such an assumption.

When I see stuff like that I always remind myself that Doomers become your groomers when you’re getting your hair & nails done at the salon of success!

For clarity to the noobs: my problem is the stage setting of negativity towards Dems for hypothetical future acts. I'm a New Yorker. We have first dibs on the...

A problem I would love to avoid: a future Democratic Party stacked with Chuck Schumer clones.

Chuck Schumer has stymied the GOP. I don't want only Schumers, but you need to start respecting what Congressional leadership does.

There is no requirement for entertainment here, but what fault do you find with my analogy? Let’s be specific, then. I understand the limitations of representation in a minority scenario. Let’s ask the SPD how well following procedure fared against the DAP once opposition was outlawed in 1933.

Relying on a log-jam for flood control makes sense only so long as water does not continue to rise and the presumption that it will recede in some finite period of time. When the logjam breaks, the logs become projectiles downstream.

Stop analogizing yourself into a frame that is fantasy. With a minority, there are limitations. You want Schumer unleashed? Jeffries unleashed? Give them majorities. Everything else is you lying to yourself about fairy dust. I'm not entertaining this line further. It's dumb and it wastes my time.

I hope we all continue to enjoy that privilege. I remember expressing opinion very in line with your own back in 2016 or so, before we went so far off the rails. I failed to observe that the trajectory was set decades earlier. Not only was this planned, it was aided & abetted. Thanks, though.
