        Democracy only works when parties hold each other accountable for the good of the country. Republicans have abandoned this since before Clinton. Blaming the Democrats for the Republicans moving the goalposts is the cancer at the heart of US politics.

          Democrats are colluding with Republicans to move those goal posts. And I keep moving it further and further to the right every election.
