> these guys' plan of using signal to avoid record keeping was foolish and stupid, more than just because of their silly fear that Democrats would release their records (that would require Democrats growing a spine).
s/was/is. As in -- they're going to keep using Signal.
And yeah it is all for naught because as you say, there is no sign the dems as a group will grow a spine.
Even if the democrats received a sudden vertebrae infusion, they hold no levers of power. One might ask where the spines are of the Republicans who are in a position to apply pressure from the inside. Trumpism may die due to pressure from the outside, but it seems far more likely that it will be taken down from the inside, eg internecine billionaire arguments, or a congressional palace coup.

Oooh I actually think that's the question that history will ask. We've seen groups choose party over country before, but I can't think of a time in my life where it was to this extent.
