4. Stopping bad things from happening is not hypocritical
Should firemen just watch buildings burn down?

6. everyone had their own opinion on what bad things are and what should be stopped.
The repukes are saying the same thing.

Its a stupid cycles that everyone keeps doing. I think we are all idiots. Or we know better and just don't care.

7. Bad as some of the Dems have been, if you're equating what the repukes say
to what their opponents from the left say, then you might just have wandered into the wrong place.

It's one of the things that we elect people to do.

18. My opinion is that the republican party wants to do very bad things
If that's not your opinion, then we have nothing to discuss.

And I renew my suggestion that you're on the wrong site.

This hyper-relativity swill we are dealing with here is simply someone striking a posture; no one actually means that kind of nonesense....

Like the chimps doing crazy jumps in the zoo. Gotta watch out for the feces-flinging, though.

8. nope lets just gridlock our gov so NOTHING gets done.
Since neither side wants to work with eachother. And with each side saying its the other sides fault, I'm amazed we got what we did.

29. What in the name that is good and green on Earth do they want to do
that is even remotely sensable and good for most people in the country?

What part of their agenda should be promoted?

What is it they want to put in place that needs fine tuning and moderation?

I kinda dig the basic idea of what you're saying but when you get into the reality of application, their is an elephant in the room and it is huge-all the Republicans ideas are not only crappy to gawdawful but repeatedly disproven in epic scope all through their history.

I'm not sure that cooperating to drive the nation off a cliff is wise, logical, rational, or in any way actually responsible.

I mean it's not like they are trying to roll out some new solutions or tried and true ones but rather to implement and double down on cataclysmic failure and generational theft in some highly delusional effort to recreate the gilded age.

I think your way of capitulation and facilitation has been tried enough.
It doesn't work because the Republicans don't play that game and are never held accountable for not being "the adults" nor for their discredited ideology.
