So you agree. Like I said; the demands you listed won’t be met. But then what? We still have an immigration problem. We still could benefit from reforming our criminal justice system. Merely winning tha election alone isn’t enough to achieve that. As long as gridlock persists very little changes. Which might have its benefits, but also has some very strong negatives. Not the least of which being the steady flow of invaders. They are still coming. And will continue to do so until both sides choose to agree on a solution that they’ll enforce.Then go with that view. So... How exactly do you intend to “defeat” the other side?The list you provide is actually a set of demands. Obviously they could not be offered any of those outright. Compromise would be a willingness to make some adjustments in those areas, in return for their acceptance of some adjustments we’d like to see made. The demands presented have zero chance of going anywhere, so they really aren’t a serious concern. But dwindling as they may be in number, there are some moderate democrats out there. They just don’t get the airtime the socialist extremists do. As far as the fad of promoting these extremists goes; it will pass. After the election results soundly reject their insanity, the Democrat party will be in search of legitimate leadership that actually has a chance of making things happen. The only way they be able to make anything happen will be through compromise.
Instead making a list of demands, both sides could benefit from stating what effect, or outcome they’d like to see. Then start discussing terms which bring both sides somewhat closer to the ends theyd like to achieve.
Since you've been given the opportunity twice,and could not provide a viable compromise in any of those areas, I'll assume your view is not amenable in reality.
Billy said the other side must be defeated.
I'm gonna go with that view.
Consider the possibility that you are incorrect.
At the ballot box, silly.
In Mac's thread about compromise, it eventually got to the point where there are many things both sides can agree on, however those issues will never be worked on. The media driven, divisive issues will continue the gridlock, and common sense stuff will never be touched. The game for power will ensure that if a Republican has a chance for a common sense agreement, it will be coupled with a government power grab. They would have to agree to dangerous horseshit like eliminating Ice, eliminating the electoral college, or mega programs like medicare for all. It is best to continue the gridlock than enact those liberal demands.
Then, there's this:
"The common wisdom holds that 'both parties' have to appeal to the extremes during the primary and then move to the center for the general election. To the contrary, both parties run for office as conservatives. Once they have fooled the voters and are safely in office, Republicans sometimes double-cross the voters. Democrats always do."
