Matt Fuller on Twitter: "It’s not like I thought they’d be consistent, but it really is something to watch a political party say you shouldn’t confirm a Supreme Court Justice nine months before an election now say it’s fine six weeks before an election, as people are actually voting." / Twitter
Then
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Twitter: "Congressional GOP have made one thing extremely clear:
To them, there are no rules.
There are no principles.
There is only power.
They are ruthless, and always have been in my lifetime.
Dems must recognize they cannot be reasoned with at present & better adapt to that reality." / Twitter
AOC got responses like these:
H. Eric Loewe on Twitter: "@AOC MT @sarahkendzior
"GOP wants a one-party state, and DT wants to be the autocrat of that state. The idea that they are incompetent is a myth. They are very competent. They are just not interested in the process of governing. They are interested in ruling." https://t.co/5FqNzqssUb" / Twitter
H. Eric Loewe on Twitter: "@AOC MT @sarahkendzior
"These are kleptocratic empires. They want power, they want money, Putin wants territory and sanctions dropped. If DT joins an alliance of autocrats, it's easier to keep illicit financial deals going without oversight or accountability." https://t.co/lWanahUIJC" / Twitter
Matt's Switch Screenshots on Twitter: "@AOC Dems keep playing by rules and norms that Republicans simply don't. Combine that with what feels like permanent minority rule and it all feels like our democracy is a sham. The electoral college, gerrymandering, and Senate structure all prop up undemocratic minority rule." / Twitter
Eric Richardson on Twitter: "@AOC I dont understand why Dems stayed so civil for so long, unfortunately it might just be too late to reasonably do anything about it, If Trump cheats in this election who can hold him accountable? What are the consequences, who will even bother to investigate?
O' Discordia" / Twitter
Darrin Bell on Twitter: "@AOC Democrats need to wake up to the fact the GOP has been waging a cold civil war since 1994. This is why they cheat constantly and don’t seem to have any shame. “All’s fair in love and war.” Dems need more AOCs and fewer capitulators." / Twitter
Also responses to the effect that it is the Democrats who are the power-hungry party.
But let's see.

Democrats often talk about reaching across the aisle and working with Republicans. Like Joe Biden talking about having a Republican Vice President. But do Republicans every talk about doing that with Democrats?
