Why should Dems follow all the rules when repubs don’t? If anyone cares about the rule, they should have punished the previous committee leaders even though they have an R by their name.
Because rules are how society works. If both parties agree to throw out the rules… we don’t have a democracy anymore.
So it’s turn the other cheek bullshit? They’ve had my left, right, and both ass cheeks. There are no cheeks left to turn.
Love when people have that argument. I always politely remind them that we didn’t just turn all of our cheeks to Hitler and hope he stopped. At a certain point you gotta go all in.
Rules of procedure are hardly the bedrock of democracy
If one party ignores the rules, while the other party follows them, the party with no regard for the rules will take all the power, and we definitely won’t have a democracy anymore.
The same reason Dems should do a SHITLOAD of things differently than the Republicans: because they’re better and more honest or at least pretending to be.
