The point is this: you have to fight, even when you know you’re not going to win this time. You make them fight too. You’re chipping away at the thing you’re trying to change, every time you do this. Republicans understand this.

They tried over and over and over to repeal Obamacare, until it actually seemed like a joke. But it wasn’t a joke. They were chipping away, like they’ve been chipping away at Roe v. Wade for decades.

This is something Democrats could learn from the GOP.

Don’t defeat yourself. Play the long game if you must.
