I mean, the GOP senate will be 'normalized' when they're powerless

it's not specifically a GOP thing, though, Sanders wants to blow up institutional norms even further. the ultimate effect of that could be to make the next president even harder to curtail in their awfulness but that's the hand the democrats have been dealt.

Joe BIden is basically proposing that electing him will stop the erosion of institutional norms but they were already eroded by the end of the last presidency, otherwise it wouldn't have been so easy to get rid of them immediately in the new one. But even if that weren't true, it's hard to see that as a compelling strategy. You know what they call it when the other side can do whatever they want and you hamstring your own side without getting anything out of it? I'm pretty sure that's called losing.
