this is why Dems can never be an effective opposition party to right wing extremism

The Alt Right Playbook: You Go High, We Go Low (InnuendoStudios, YouTube)

painfully relevant and insightful even 6 years later.

Dems are rule following conformists who would rather keep the wheels of governance spinning no matter what, because they incorrectly believe that the "democracy machine" can only ever produce "more and better democracy".

from Merrick Garland being denied confirmation, to Al Green at the state of the union, Dems fundamentally don't grasp when it's necessary to break the rules to achieve goals

they don't understand, The Rules Serve Us, We Do Not Serve Them (Parkrose Permaculture, YouTube)

Pro tip: you can remove the si=xxxxxxxxxxxx parameter from YouTube links. It's some sort of tracking parameter. Also the ? is only needed to add parameters, so since the si parameter was the only one, it can be removed too.
