Yes and making them do it repeatedly is how being an opposition party works. You make them grind, repeatedly, for years, requiring more effort than normal just to do the most basic poo poo until they say gently caress it and give you a seat at the table or the makeup of the legislature changes

Since that requires effort and acknowledging that yes your going to make life difficult for people who do not mean you well it's unsurprising that you and the rest of the lanyards need this spelled out

Remember when the gop managed to sabotage obamacare dispite the Dems having a supermajority just because they found the one guy that would break with the caucus? Better not resist, after all it's not like that poo poo happened a year ago, humiliating Mitch by finding a congressman who was willing to blow up their whole year long effort to get the aca

But hey. There's no way that could happen again amiright?

eh. Technically yes, but realistically the state of New York is big, and she doesn't have the ground game required to really overcome the incumbent advantage. Plus while she is doing her best to get on the primary ballot etc, she hasn't given a good indication that she has what it takes. I'll vote for her given the opportunity, but she has to make that opportunity.

It's this

Bernie is much easier for them to be mad about than AOC (because he's a WHITE MAN who OPPOSED MOTHER and he TRASHES DEMS :argh:) so there's no reason for them to use any other label

The republicans already managed to make people think a conservative majority on the court is "good governance" enough that the newspaper of note creams itself at the thought of Ivy-educated originalists.

Also wasn't the Clinton impeachment mostly a mix of the GOP wanting to flex its legislative muscle and a lot of the party old guard seeing it as revenge for Nixon, considering the situation in congress was more or less a reversal of the 60s
