MODERATORS
Again, it's disingenuous to claim that their pragmatism in the face of unreasonable actors is the same as being the unreasonable actors. What are the left supposed to do? Pull a Trump and pretend that the laws and systems that make our country don't exist and just say that what they want is law and ignore that half the country is electing morons who will fight them at every turn? That's not how it works and frankly I wouldn't want it to work that way because it's just incredibly dangerous. They're trying to work within a system where the right has learned they can con half the country into believing they're doing their job while they sit back and do their damnedest to ensure that the government doesn't function at all because that's the only way that conservatives can stop progress at this point with their platforms being as unpopular as they are.
