Into misremembering the past and ignoring how things work. You'd really make a very good Republican.

>Things are really important when an election nears...

Well, yes, the time as an election approaches is a particularly good time to run for office. That's when most politicians do it, in either party.

>then
>once they are in power, its all downplayed/ignored/etc.

You're making shit up.

>1/6, Trump as hitler, COVID, stolen supreme court, overturning
>Roe, the evil GOP, Trump Ukraine, etc, etc

Yup, Yup, Yup, Yup, Yup, Yup, Yup etc.

>^^^ all huge fucking deals when they have to raise money and
>try to win an election

Huge fucking deals on any day. You're making shit up.

>Once in power?
>
>Its all- turn the page,

Who ever said that?

>we need a strong Republican party,

You're making shit up.

If you're talking about the faint-praise cliche of "It's a shame we don't have a serious opposition party anymore.", then you must be pretty confused to equate that with "we need a strong Republican party."

>job
>growth,

Wait, are you saying job growth isn't important?

>deficit reduction (LMFAO crying),

Crying about what?

>COVID isn't that
>bad,

Uhhhhhh... What?

You're making shit up.

>we need to vote more democrats!

Yes, we do. That is the problem. The only way to gain political power is to put people in office. You really don't have to be such a dummy.

>And they end up inevitably looking like opportunistic,
>hypocritical, spineless, incompetent grifters

There might conceivably be a case to be made here on marketing, but you haven't made it. Is your concern that they haven't passed any major laws (other than the infrastructure bill that was initially conceived as bipartisan, interestingly enough...)? It's an understandable concern, given that most people don't know how laws are passed.

But you, personally you, you put so much energy into ranting about how Democrats are incompetent (while never saying a word about what they should be doing or why or how) -- if you put a third of that effort into thinking about trivial things like how to pass a law, you'd have a much better understanding of what the situation is and you could approach your pointless online rants as if you were a productive member of a democratic society.

>Absolutely zero of current Dem leaders - or anyone important
>in the party's infrastructure- is cut out for this.

What should they be doing?

Occam's razor: Is it simpler to believe that hundreds of millions of people are in the thrall of idiots who have devoted their life's work to the same progressive principles you claim to hold and yet somehow missed all the simple secrets that seem so obvious to you? Or is it more plausible that you just aren't interested in the details and that you're even less interested in personal self criticism?

>These hearings should have happened a while ago.

They did. It was the second impeachment trial.

They claim to have more information now. We'll see. It takes time to depose thousands of witnesses. The fact that you're thinking they could/should have done "these hearings", say, a year earlier, is a sign that you're thinking of them entirely as theatrics and not as an effort to establish facts with legal rigor. You know what would be completely pointless? A rehashing of the arguments from the impeachment trial with no new information.

Will new information help to move the dial any further? Probably not. I'm as skeptical about that as you are. But if you think there's anything better for them to be doing, you have the power to say what that is. Maybe the reason you only ever say the Dems are fucking up and you never say what they should actually be doing is that you're afraid that you might be smart enough to realize how dumb you're choosing to be.

>Only hope is
>this chips away a little at general R support from the
>mythical moderates. Doubt it though.

Me too, but why do you say "only hope"? Are you under the impression that there could have ever been another goal here?
