And Democrats should just roll over no matter what the Republicans do.

I'd respect it if such a thing were stated straightforwardly instead of endless verbose obfuscation. Look, I get it. It's not really "Surrender." It's mostly "Backwards engineer justification no matter what the people in power on my side manage."

Which is . . . not great, but I accept that some people will always explain the emperor's long and luxurious cape because courtiers gonna court.

But this twisting of loyalty to the Democratic Party resolving into giving Republicans whatever they want?

The amount of contortion required to backwards oneself into this conclusion that True Democrats Support Republican Demands - which is very much what this distills down to after throwing out all of the unnecessary text. I get why it takes several thousand words. It's a lot to accomplish.

To massacre my boy Bacon - lowering to this submission is by rather a winding stair.
