Because rules are how society works. If both parties agree to throw out the rules.. we don't have a democracy anymore.

So it’s turn the other cheek bullshit? They’ve had my left, right, and both ass cheeks. There are no cheeks left to turn.

Love when people have that argument. I always politely remind them that we didn't just turn all of our cheeks to Hitler and hope he stopped. At a certain point you gotta go all in.

If one party ignores the rules, while the other party follows them, the party with no regard for the rules will take all the power, and we definitely won't have a democracy anymore.
