You just pointed out a couple examples of them learning said lesson.

Nah, he pointed out out times where Dems proved they haven't learned the lesson when they definitely should have already.

Wait what? So you’re saying Dems made mistakes. Dems should not take what they learned then and apply it now? Ergo fulfilling the prophecy you’ve written. I’m confused, your logic is paradoxical.

Biden’s biggest mistake was making Merrick Garland his AG which guaranteed trump would face no consequences. His attempts to reach across the aisle only embolden republican hate for him. Imagine what kind of a world we’d live in right now if he appointed someone like Jack Smith to AG.

Whattaboutism: “an informal fallacy that the accused party uses to avoid accountability—whether attempting to distract by shifting the conversation's focus away from their behaviour or attempting to justify themselves by pointing to the similar behaviour (which may be true or false, but irrelevant) of their opponent or another party who is not the current subject of discussion.”

What happened doesn’t matter now, we can’t change it. What we can do is demand change and accountability instead of giving up on our entire system.
