    Yeah, it signals to every both sider that they were right all along, and all the people they’ve been prosthelytizing to might actually start believing them.

    If you want to be on the side of democracy, you don’t just decide to stop being democratic unless you’ve given up.

    You’re not going to solve anything by playing by their rules, you’re only going to galvanize them. They are the party of “government doesn’t work”, doing this just gives them more ammo.

      The government doesn’t work if one side can break the law and walk away scott free and if the other side does the same exact thing they have consequences. What’s there left to argue at that point?
