In this special comment, James discusses how the Democrats, on some issues, especially the debt limit, and Jan 6th prosecutions, are not showing the urgency that they should. First, how do you work with people on the GOP side that literally stood by while a mob wanted to murder the former Vice President, Mike Pence? Second, how do you work with people who (on January 5th) were planning in advance or who knew about what would happen on the 6th? People in power who face no consequences will be emboldened to question every election.
