    Imagine if Dems weren't just controlled opposition. Using the same logic they are with Trump's impeachment, democrats could remove enough Republicans to gain a supermajority in the senate and push for electoral reform, an end to gerrymandering, a widening of the number of supreme court justices, and so on. Is there a case in history where a political party like the Democrats are this allergic to power?

      The Mensheviks perhaps, though they were rather short-lived.
