(82,383 posts)Democrats aren't like that. If they were like Republicans, they'd be Republicans. Liberals are more open minded and you can't get them in line like Republicans can get their people in line. It's inherent in the belief system. Much like Democrats "caving" to Republican majorities to keep the government going. Democrats inherently want it to continue to function and republicans inherently don't mind if it shuts down.
It gives Republicans an advantage which does suck. Conservatism will have certain advantages - keeping things the same for people happy with things. In the long run, it loses because society always progresses. But it takes time, due to conservative pressures that exist. Which explains a lot of the frustration of Democrats who are impatient for the changes to take place.
