| << The lock is VERY one sided. Hmm. Is it though? You are making rather broad statement here. Would you be willing to offer an example supporting that statement? << Democrats were willing to work across the aisle and even adopted republican ideas. 'Were'? It is a real question, but the spirit is the same as above. Can you offer an example you have in your mind. I suspect I know where you are going with this, but I don't want to assume too much. << The moment they do, Republicans reject their own ides. Republicans refused to cooperate. Same as above. << It is assymetric and the knee jerk tendency to both side everything just enable it. No. This is pure silliness and I am frankly tired of hearing this point so I will just call it out. I like to see things as they are. If things happen to work in a way that I happen to not like, then I do not like those things, but it does not mean said those things are invalid, simply because it was a 'kneejerk' reaction to it. And even trying to cast it as kneejerk is amazingly inaccurate. This resentment has been building for a long time now ( does anyone even remember Vance's CNN commentary that basically said 'can you hear us now?' ), which kinda sucks for the political class as they will need to figure out a different model ( and it seems they may have already ) to bamboozle the population. I am happy to discuss further, but you need to give me a little more. |
If you are _actually_ willing to discuss, you can't just demand the other side to give, you can also set the standard by giving.
