There was a great episode of the daily show with Jon recently after the election. Basically his point was the democrats keep doing things because of “norms” or “tradition” while the republicans have completely thrown both out the window to win. It’s time for the democrats to start doing the same. Taking the political high ground for “norms” and “traditions” is causing their constituents to suffer. It’s clear that the norms politicians have followed for the past 250 years are not rule, law or enforceable. The dems need to realize what they are fighting against and step up to the battlefield in which they find themselves, then after regaining power they need to code these previous norms into law with actual consequences for ignoring them.

Here is the clip: (it’s about 1//2 through, but the whole thing is worth watching)
