Schiff is wrong about fighting back

Given that numerous Repug House members signed on to an overthrow of democracy, it was suggested that Pelosi use procedure and not seat them in the House. Schiff argues against it saying we don't want to become like them. He further argues that the Dems won by not using those sort of procedural tactics but instead by making the case to the American people about how bad they are. 

But we only won the Presidency because Twit is soooo rotten, not because Biden was soooo attractive. And the Dems using his strategy lost quite a few seats in the House and lost expected seats the Senate. So no Schiff, you're wrong about using procedural tactics to defeat the enemies of the American people. And you're wrong that the establishment messaging worked as evidenced by the results of the down ticket races. The ones who won were the strong progressives who are willing to stand up and fight fiercely using whatever procedural tactics are necessary.

And we must be willing to hold accountable those who commit treason against our country, for that's exactly what those House Repugs did. Just letting it slide with your usual ineffective framing not only doesn't hold them accountable, it further enables them to continue on their traitorous slide into fascism. Sorry, your excuses are exactly why Dems lose and it makes you complicit in the accelerating lose of our democracy. We need a progressive spine, not your noodle excuses.
