    Dems are pressurable. Republicans are lot harder to pressure

    Elections decide who you have to work with

    They alone won’t fully fix things, but they can set the stage for progress

    It’s going to take both voting and directed pressure to change things

      Republicans are lot harder to pressure

      Republicans caved to the Tea Party and a catch phrase. They are ridiculously easy to pressure.

      The Democrats have been fighting against their own constituency for decades, pushing Hillary over Obama in 2008, Hillary over Bernie in 2016, and whatever you want to call that clusterfuck last year.

      Hopefully, we can finally get a Guillotine Party to do to the Democrats what the Tea Party did to the GOP.

      Under what proof are Democrats pressurable?

      Like, actually.
      One party seems to be have actually adjusted its party to match the citizens requests and has an average age of their house leaders over 20 years younger.
      Not for the better but change happened. Where is that present in the DNC?
