Not suited to deal with today's political climate. We can't keep having elected Democrats try to come to bipartisan agreements with bad faith actors and we can't keep trying to meet in the middle with people who continue to step further away. The Democratic party needs reformed through primaries or whatever or else we will not be waiting a generation, but more like generations.
