I agree that our political differences are going to severely damage our economy and place in the world. But the differences are real. There's no way you can make them go away. Perhaps in a generation or two, they'll have resolved themselves. But for the immediate future, we're in a deadlock.
Unfortunately, the divide was turned into a chasm when Jr. and his great line "if you're not with us, you're with the terrorists". That made everyone try to say their way was the only right way.
Unfortunately, our lawmakers that we sent to Washington to represent the views of all the people of this country, have chosen instead to reduce their rhetoric to bumper stickers and tweets, instead of doing their actual jobs which includes debate and compromise.
I mean.......the views of someone in Iowa are going to be much different than those in LA or NYC, so if you want to truly represent the people, you need to compromise on things so that the whole country has a voice.
Or, it could have been seen as a Unified Front. Thanks for Fucking that one up. Good to know who could be counted on when the chips were down.Unfortunately, the divide was turned into a chasm when Jr. and his great line "if you're not with us, you're with the terrorists".

How does one compromise Principle? What are you willing to sell out to get a deal? Who are you willing to sell out to get a deal?Unfortunately, our lawmakers that we sent to Washington to represent the views of all the people of this country, have chosen instead to reduce their rhetoric to bumper stickers and tweets, instead of doing their actual jobs which includes debate and compromise.
Consensus does not win the day. How about instead, hearing out legitimate argument, relevant argument, and go with the best you have, upon reflection, by weight and importance, rather than incorporating every ounce of Bullshit?I mean.......the views of someone in Iowa are going to be much different than those in LA or NYC, so if you want to truly represent the people, you need to compromise on things so that the whole country has a voice.
We have a Right to be heard and have our concerns and grievances heard. However, if those grievances and concerns are lacking, or misguided, there is no obligation to act on them.
