Well, people are extremists on both sides of both parties.I have told people for years that the only difference between a Republican and Democrat is the name of their party affiliation. If you can ignore the political theater you can see what is not different.yeah it's a troool thread, but its such a lame attempt by the OP that it's sort of fun to pick the low hanging fruit. And I'm not even a fan of the stimulus and now infrastructure bills. But if the gop keeps not compromising by voting for what Biden won on ..... Manchin may have to keep voting.No, you don't have an open mind.I'm am trying to be...ahem, "impartial" and find actual good the Dems have actually done because I have an open mind.
I was trying to find a site with Mort Saul's 1970s routine of left and right, and I can't find it. But he took extremes of each position and worked around to showing each was an intolerant and dogmatic as the other.I have told people for years that the only difference between a Republican and Democrat is the name of their party affiliation.

Although I think one problem right now is that as those ten "moderate" goper senators attempt to find a compromise position, they are coming from where Trump left them, and Trump never made it to 50% in approval. Whereas Biden is around 60% even after a very left leaning stimulus bill, because he's seen as a pre-Trump voice of reason. If Biden offers a compromise the gop moderates would have seen favorably in 2015, they'd be primaried today. And while if history is precedent, the gop will take the house in 2020, but I think they will likely lose more senate seats unless the gop effectively keeps dems from voting.
