      The problem is these people have no plan to actually achieve any of these things and will explain away why they didn't happen in six months. Rinse, repeat.

      "We can't push for reforms that would eliminate minority Republican rule because we need to win some of those Republicans in 2020" or some shit like that.

      Politics has turned into celebrity worship, the 'grief' over RBG, Bush's image rehab, Obama worship, Biden memes are all evidence of this. Libs say they want those things but won't hold their celebrity politicians accountable when those things don't happen.

      Libs are institutionalists. They will always be played by conservatives and elected Dems. They have to believe in the holy power of institutions - it's their religion. Ivy League schools are amazing, smart people go to Ivy League schools, and people that go to Ivy League schools are on the supreme court. They explain their own privilege as a result of a meritocracy via higher education. If they start questioning institutions then the entire meritocracy idea falls apart.

      Conservatives replaced God with Capitalism. Libs replaced God with meritocracy bases on higher education. How many libs do you know that say "If only Republicans were better educated?"
