but you can't do that and also claim that one of your important policies is that fighting is bad.

I agree. I say it's time to abandon the policy of saying that fighting is bad.

When norms are abandoned as the GOP has abandoned them, Democrats may have to abandon those norms as well. If they really want those norms back, they can codify some of the old norms into law when - if - they get back into power.

It may not yet be time to take that step. But there needs to be conversations about when to take the step.
