Man I'm just not sure what you're even arguing for at this point.

Did I say it should be illegal to not lock the door? Did I say you should be arrested and the burglar should go free? I don't think I said that.

Republicans should be held accountable by going to prison. Democrats should be held accountable by not being re-elected

And what do you propose we do about the robbers?

I propose we advocate for politicians to do something about it, and thus criticize those who don't. That seems reasonable to me.

But, their negligence doesn't just screw themselves over, it screws the whole country.

To continue this analogy, perhaps you leave your house for a while and trust your friend to look after it. But they leave the door unlocked and you get robbed. They aren't "the bad guy" but I would certainly lose trust in them.

It's like if you got robbed, and then instead of locking the door or taking literally any preventive measure, you just think "surely I would never get robbed twice" and then do nothing

Then you get robbed again, because you live in a shady neighborhood and you're gonna keep getting fucking robbed until you lock the door
