Can we heal the divide?

[dblack]

I know some will claim it's a crazy thing to say, but the divide is largely artificial. Most people aren't screeching partisan nitwits. Most people are just people.

Most of this is the direct result of the two party fear machine.

You must kill the Christians to do what we see as normal. And that is the tough nut to crack.

That’s quite stupid.

Seriously? Democrats compromise on everything? Good grief. You need to pay more attention to…the ONLY reason dems were willing to go along with that immigration bill is because it gave dems everything they wanted and almost nothing the repubs wanted. Yes, the dems would have been happy to pass that bill because it would have basically legalized illegal immigration, and given them the power to “pause” border crossings, if they chose to do so, which they never would have, and yet it would have given them all of the funding they wanted

THIS bill wasn’t any better but it wasn’t any worse either. In both cases dems got what they wanted and repubs didn’t get anything.

In the immigration bill, if there hadn’t been concessions for immigration, the dems wouldn’t have compromised a thing. If they hadn’t gotten what they wanted for Ukraine funding, they wouldn’t have compromised a thing. The only reason they are spinning that yarn is because they got everything they wanted.

Don’t kid yourself, the dems are just as selfish as the repubs.

Oh horse shit.

Dems want DACA folks taken care of and a path to citizenship.

Not on that bill.

It semantically gave REPUBLICANS want they want but they refuse to take yes for an answer because Trump said no

Hmm, all the funding for Ukraine the dems wanted and a border spigot that dems control at their leisure. I’m sure they want people to think it was compromise.

Ukraine has nothing to do with the border. That's hostage negotiating not compromise

Fair point. The only thing I'm seeing in the political realm is tribes wanting to "beat" each other.

Reeducation camps for the left. The problem begins in the home and the school

Uh, no. It's primarily driven by the growth of government and the way we do elections (plurality).

Not to the point of struggling.
Do you get it now or do we have to go around one more time?

You annoy me with that disdain for those who are struggling.

If you can't say something helpful please shut up.

I’ve said no such thing, liar.
Your inability to read and comprehend does not give you permission to misrepresent me.

We could listen to the two REPUBLICANS who head foreign affairs.
They warn that Republicans are spreading Russian propaganda,
Meant to weaken USA, and convince other countries that U S will not stand by its allies.

The hell it didn’t. They weren’t going to pass any border measures unless a Ukraine packages was on the table

The nation does best when we all agree about most things most of the time. Especially with regard to laws and government.

But political parties do best when we all disagree about most things most of the time. So what do you think they're selling?

and you need more testosterone girly man ..

That and the post above it are your idea of curing the division??

There is no cure other than some form of separation, then we can see if capitalism or socialism work best. Tell us where socialism has ever worked, give us a list where the system you want for us has ever worked.
