My title refers to both the video title and the reply above.

THERE ISN'T A "SYSTEM" IN PLACE IF ONLY ONE SIDE USES IT!! THE "SYSTEM" is gone!

Let me try a simple analogy:

My husband and I have a "system" for keeping the house clean. We each have our assigned chores. It works great. He decides to cop out on the "system". We no longer have a system for keeping the house clean because the "system" had two willing participants.

Our political system was based on two parties willing to abide by the rules (more or less with plenty of caveats, but still a mutually agreed upon system). That system no longer exists. It is now a matter of lying down and letting the repukes do whatever they want or fighting back. We are now operating in metaphorical civil was territory, not in a mutually agreed upon system. WAKE UP. (BTW, citing the term "Civil war" in no way means I advocate violence).
