Because I'm tired of watching the Dems be held to a higher standard and taking the high road and honoring decorum and losing to a corrupt as fuck party of traitors.
Americans voted for corruption, so now they're going to get it. Hopefully we get so fucking corrupt it actually makes us act like adults and vote more intelligently. Doubt it. We're probably done for. But that's our own fault.
Again, I'm perfectly fine with Democrats playing dirty when it helps the country as a whole. They want to gerrymander to hell to get something like socialized health insurance passed or something like ranked choice voting? Have at it. This is just nepotism. It doesn't help you. It doesn't help the Democratic Party. Nobody should be for this.
Nepotism is standard in America. We don't care enough to actually do anything about it. In fact, we just voted to make it worse. I'm aware it doesn't help me. It helps a guy who was a solid president who doesn't want his son to be in prison for non-violent crimes while a criminal president who openly stated he will target his political opponents sits in the Oval Office. Can't blame him in the least. Especially since most presidents pardon people who support them at the end of their term. It's normal in America.
If we didn't like it, we could vote more intelligently. But we don't, and we won't.
30% of eligible voters elected Trump, Democrats are allowed now to do what they want. Okie-dokie.
Continue on with your "they took the high road" loss analysis. It's been said so many times I don't think anyone even knows what the "high road" is. If you could explain it to me I might be better informed.
