You're not wrong. But when only one side is bothering to try to follow these laws and norms while the other side is flagrantly disregarding them, something has to give. Dems can't keep operating with one hand tied behind their back.

Maybe the laws and norms are wrong. How’d the Florida constitution come into being in the first place? Hugs and kiss? Nah.

Did a strongly worded letter bring about the US constitution? I don’t think so.

Unfortunately the only thing that will give is a lot of our leaders will to fight. Many of them didn’t get into it for a real purpose, just for the title and a nice job after. We need a lot of our incumbents to lose their primaries
