The lesson that the Democratic party, esp. leadership, needs to FINALLY learn. [View all]

The Republicans are ruthless. They are at war with Democrats, democracy, the American people, the Constitution, our long standing institutions, you name it. They're at war with everyone and everything in their quest for power.

The Democratic party needs to switch from seeking consensus to being just as ruthless in seeking power. This means making P.R. and DC states to increase Dem senators. Adding more seats to the SCOTUS. Re-draw districts in Blue states to increase representation. EVERYTHING has to be on the table.

We're in a, non-violent (so far), political Civil War with the Republicans in this country whether we like it or not.
